what is the area of this figure?

enter your answer in the box.

__m²

81 m².

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that,

The figure contains a right angled triangle and a parallelogram.

Dimensions of the triangle is: Base = 9 m, Height = 8 m.

Dimensions of the parallelogram is: Base = 9 m, Height = 5 m.

So, in order to find the total area, we will add the area of the two individual figures.

Area of triangle = =   = 9 × 4 = 36 m²

Area of parallelogram = Base × Height = 9 × 5 = 45 m².

Thus, the total area of the figure = 36 + 45 = 81 m².

Hence, the required area is 81 m².
