Answer:
Your answer is 63
Step-by-step explanation:
First lets find the area of the rectangle:
To find the area of a rectangle your multiply the length by the width. In this case it is 5 and 9 so..
5 x 9 = 45
Now to find the area of the triangle:
Formula for triangle: 1/2(bh)
9 is your height to find the base subtract 5 from 9:
9 - 5 = 4
Now divide that by 2:
4 / 2 = 2
2 is your base
Now we know the base and height solve:
1/2(2 x 9)
1/2(18)
18 / 2 = 9
multiply 9 by 2
9 x 2 = 18
Now add your areas to find the final area:
45 + 18 = 63
