In the figure above, |CD| is the base of the triangle CDE. Find the area of the figure to the nearest whole number.
A.
56 cm2
B.
24 cm2
C.
42 cm2
D.
34 cm2
Correct Answer: 34 cm2
Explanation
Area of rectangle ABCD = length x breadth
= 7 x 4
= 28 cm2
Area of triangle CDE = 1/2
base x height
= 1/2 × 3 × 4
= 6 cm2
Area of the figure = 28 cm2
+ 6 cm2 = 34 cm2
Area of rectangle ABCD = length x breadth
= 7 x 4
= 28 cm2
Area of triangle CDE = 1/2
base x height
= 1/2 × 3 × 4
= 6 cm2
Area of the figure = 28 cm2
+ 6 cm2 = 34 cm2
