Answer:
figure 1 - 10.5 unit^2
figure 2 - 12 unit^2
Step-by-step explanation:
figure 1
1. find the area of the rectangle
3*2 = 6 unit^2
2. find the area of the triangle
(3*3)/2 = 4.5 unit^2
3. add the area of the rectangle and the area of the triangle together. The sum would be the area of the trapezoid.
6 + 4.5 = 10.5 unit^2
figure 2
1. find the area of the rectangle
2*4 = 8 unit^2
2. find the area of both triangles
(1*4)/2 = 2 unit^2
3. add the area of the rectangle and the area of both triangles together. The sum would be the area of the trapezoid.
8 + 2 + 2 = 12 unit^2
