Question

Find the area of the house given below.

• A. 200 square feet
• B. 300 square feet
• C. 500 square feet
• D. 700 square feet

Answer 1

The correct option is D 700 square feet

The house is made of a triangle and a rectangle.
Area of the house = Area of the triangle + Area of the rectangle

$Areaoftriangle=\frac{1}{2}\times Base\times Height$
$=\frac{1}{2}\times 20\times 10$
$=100$ square feet

Area of the rectangle = Length × Width
= $20\times 30$ = 600 square feet

Area of the house = 100 + 600
= 700 square feet
