What is the area of the figure? Triangle with a height of two feet with a rectangle attached to the base. Rectangle width is six feet and height is five feet. ft2
Calculate them separately and add them together. The formula for the area of a triangle is [tex]a= \frac{1}{2}b*h [/tex] [tex] \frac{1}{2} (6ft)*2ft=6ft^2[/tex] is the area of the triangle. The area of a rectangle is [tex]a=b*h[/tex] [tex]5ft*6ft=30ft^2[/tex] is the area of the rectangle. [tex]30ft^2+6ft^2=36ft^2[/tex] is the total area.
