I WILL NAME BRAINLIEST FOR WHOEVER CAN WRITE THE ANSWER! I WILL NOT GIVE IT ANYONE WHO JUST POINTS! What is the area of the figure below?

Answer:
[tex]48.5cm^{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
This shape is actually just a rectangle with a missing triangle. We can first find the area of the rectangle with [tex]7*8=56[/tex] and subtract the triangle.
Area of missing triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2} *b*h[/tex] (b is the base and h is the height)
Base = [tex]8-3=5[/tex]
Height = [tex]7-4=3[/tex]
Area of missing triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2} *5*3=7.5[/tex]
Area of the figure: [tex]56-7.5=48.5[/tex]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alternatively, you can find the area of each individual shape and add them all up.
Area of the rectangle: [tex]8*4=32[/tex]
Area of square: [tex](7-4)*3=9[/tex]
Area of triangle: [tex]\frac{1}{2} *(8-3)*(7-4)=\frac{1}{2} *5*3=7.5[/tex]
Total Area: [tex]32+9+7.5=48.5[/tex]
Answer:
49.2
Step-by-step explanation:
I first found the area (length x Width) of the rectangle which is 8x4= 32
Then I subtracted 7cm and 4cm to find the width of the square which is 3cm
To find the area of the square multiple 3x3= 9
Then to find the area of the triangle I subtracted 8cm and 3cm to get the length of the triangle which is 5cm
You already know the width of the triangle (3cm) so you multiply 5cm x 3cm to get 15, but snice its a triangle you’re going to divide 15 by 2 = 7.2
Lastly your going to add up all those numbers :
32+9+7.2 = 49.2
So the area of the triangle is 49.2
