What is the area of this figure

247 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

this figure can be "split" into 3 sub-figures.

2 rectangles and one triangle "at the top".

these 3 areas can be easily calculated, and the we simply sum them all up, and that is the total area.

my approach is to pick the first rectangle to be the one extruding one to the right.

R1 = 11×5 = 55 yd²

the second rectangle is then the rest of the"straight" area up to the beginning of the triangle top

R2 = 8 × (13+5) = 8×18 = 144 yd²

and the area of a triangle is

baseline × height / 2

we can clearly see in our example, it is a right-angled triangle, so the left side is also the height, which is the remainder of the long side of the original figure, when we deduct all the other parts we used for the rectangles.

so, we have

T = 8 × (30 - 5 - 13) / 2 = 8×12/2 = 8×6 = 48 yd²

so, in total we have

F = 55 + 144 + 48 = 247 yd²

the correct is answer is a 9-sided polygon!

to find the total number of combinations, multiply the quantity of each item by each other:

2 pairs of shoes x 3 pairs of shorts = 6 different combinations.
