What is the area of the figure?
cm2

Area of the figure is 135cm²

Given:
length of the base : 15 cm 
height of the figure : 13 cm
height of the triangle : 8 cm

Area of the rectangle = Length x width

Width = height of the figure - height of the triangle
          = 13 cm - 8 cm
Width = 5 cm

Area of the rectangle = 15 cm x 5 cm = 75 cm²

Area of the triangle = height x base x 1/2
                                = 8 cm x 15 cm x 1/2
                                = 120 cm² / 2
Area of the triangle = 60 cm²

Area of the figure = Area of Rectangle + Area of Triangle
                             = 75 cm² + 60 cm²
Area of the figure = 135 cm²

Ithink the answer would be knew
