Answer:
The area of the figure is 112
Step-by-step explanation:
For area, you multiply length x width
For the triangle, you do HALF THE BASE x height
So for the square, it's fairly simple
10 x 10 = 100
For the triangle, it's a bit more complicated
So we know the length of the square is 10 inches
And we see a 6 inch mark at the top of the square, showing where the square ends and the triangle begins
So the base of the triangle is 10 - 6 = 4 inches
Also, the overall height of the figure is 16 inches, and the height of the square is 10 inches
So the height of the triangle is 16 - 10 = 6 inches
So 4 is the base of the triangle
And 6 is the height of the triangle
So we half 4, which gives us 2
2 x 6 = 12
The area of the triangle is 12
And we already determined that the area of the square is 100
100 + 12 = 112
The area of the whole figure is 112
