Answer:
181.5 in^2 to the nearest tenth.
Step-by-step explanation:
This consists of a rectangle and a triangle.
Area of the rectangle = 10 * 17 = 170 in^2
Area of the triangle:
The base = 17-13 = 4 in.
The height ( that is the vertical line below the rectangle) can be found using Pythagoras:
H = √(7^2 - 4^2) = √33
Area of the triangle = 1/2 * 4 * √33 = 11.489 in^2
Area of the whole figure = 170 + 11.489 = 181.489 in^2,
