Instructions Solve each problem by finding the area,
A new arrow needs to be painted on the road to direct traffic.
What shapes can the figure be broken into?
What is the area of the arrow?
I
7 ft
1 ft
2 ft
11 ft

The arrow can be broken into a rectangle and a triangle.

And the area of the arrow is 22 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the rectangle:

length • width = 7 • 2 = 14 ft^2

Area of the triangle:

(base • height) / 2

You must add 1 + 2 + 1 in order to get the base which is 4

And to get the height, you must do 11 - 7 = 4 (height)

(4 • 4) / 2 = 8 ft^2

Add both areas together to get the area of the arrow:

14 ft^2 + 8 ft^2 = 22 ft^2

Hope this helps!
