Communicate Mathematical Ideas Find the area of the figure. Explain how you found your answer. 10 ft 16 ft 12 ft 18 ft
I'm confused

Explanation:
The trapezoid has area of
A = h*(b1+b2)/2
A = 6*(10+18)/2
A = 84
The rectangle is 18 ft by 12 ft, which leads to an area of 18*12 = 216 sq ft.
Adding the two sub-areas gets us: 84+216 = 300
The total area of the house-shaped figure is 300 sq ft.
