Question

Length and breadth of a rectangle are 10cm and 5cm respectively. A triangle whose height is 15cm is attached to the rectangle at the top. Find the area of the combined shape.​

Answer 1

Answer:

125 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of a rectangle = 10cm

Breadth of a rectangle = 5cm

Area of rectangle= length ×breadth

= (10×5)cm²

= 50 cm²

Height of a triangle = 15cm

Base of a triangle = 10cm

Area of a triangle =1/2×base×height

=1/2×10×15

=5×15

=75cm²

Area of a combined figure=Area of a rectangle + Area of a triangle

=50cm²+75cm²

=125cm²
