The following shape has 111 pair of parallel sides.

What is the area of the shape?

Answer 1

Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

First I would get the area of the entire figure as if it were a Rectangle

10x7 = 70 Area if the figure was a rectangle.

We can form a triangle with the cut out space, the height of the triangle is 10-6 which is 4 and has a base of 7.

7x4= 28

28/2 = 14 Area of triangle cutout

Now you subtract the two figures

70-14= 56

56 Is the area
