Find the area of the figure at the right.

64

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the figure, split it into two shapes - a trapezoid and a rectangle.

The area of the trapezoid is found using A = 1/2 (a+b)h. Substitute a = 6, b = 4 and h = 8.

A = 1/2(6+4)(8) = 1/2(10)(8) = 40

The area of a rectangle is found using A = b*h. Substitute b = 6 and h = 4.

A = 6*4 = 24

Together the area adds to 40 + 24 = 64

explanation:

previous steps have made pa≅ pb ≅ st ≅ su. setting the compass width to ab allows you to make tu the same length. then δstu ≅ δpab by the sss congruence postulate, and ∠p ≅ ∠s by the reason cpctc.
