What is the area of the figure?
figure in attachment below

Since we cannot solve irregular shapes in one formula, we will have to divide the irregular form into shapes that have area formulas. We will do the triangle first. The formula for triangle is A=1/2BH. The base is the 6 feet and the height is 2 feet, so we will multiply it to get 12 then divide it by 2, which will get us 6. The formula for the rectangle is A=LW, so we just multiply 5 and 6 to get 30, then add the triangle area, which was 6 So the final answer is that the area of that figure is 36 ft. Squared. Don't forget the squared!

The linear equation is: y=ax+b
