What is the area of the figure ?
45 cm ^ 2
50 cm ^ 2
70 cm ^ 2
90 cm ^ 2

Answer:
70 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of square is 5×10=50 plus the square of triangle, high of triangle is 18-10=8 and base of triangle is 5 because it common base with square, so the square of triangle is 1/2(8)(5)=20
The total area is 50+20=70 cm^2
Answer: The correct option is (C) 70 cm².
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the area of the figure shown in the picture.
We note that the figure is composed of rectangle and a triangle.
The length and width of the rectangle are
l = 10 cm and w = 5 cm.
So, the area of the rectangle is
[tex]A_r=l\times w=10\times5=50~\textup{cm}^2.[/tex]
The base (b) of the triangle is 5 cm and the height (h) is
h = 18 - 10 = 8 cm.
So, the area of the triangle is
[tex]A_t=\dfrac{1}{2}bh=\dfrac{1}{2}\times5\times8=20~\textup{cm}^2.[/tex]
Therefore, the area of the figure is given by
[tex]A=A_r+A_t=50+20=70~\textup{cm}^2.[/tex]
Thus, the required area of the given figure is 70 cm².
Option (C) is CORRECT.
