Answer:
180 units
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to solve this, we need to find the length of the missing side of the triangle using the Pythagorean theorem.
a²+b²=c²
a= 7
b=x
c= 25
7²+x²=25²
49+x²=625
Subtract 49 from both sides
x²=576
x=24
The length of the missing side of the triangle is 24, which is also the base of the triangle. We need to find the area of the triangle so we use the formula for the area of a triangle, A=1/2bh.
A= 1/2 (24 x 7)
A=84
Now, we need to find the area of the rectangle.
Formula for area of rectangle: A= bh
A= bh
A= 4 x 24
A= 96
Next, we add the areas of both shapes to get the area of the entire figure.
96+84=180
Area of figure= 180
