A plot of land is a rectangle 20 m by 14 m with an isosceles triangle of base 14 m and height 6 m built onto one of its shorter ends. Find the total area of the plot in m².

Question

Accepted Answer

322. Rectangle = 20 × 14 = 280 m² and triangle = ½ × 14 × 6 = 42 m². Total = 280 + 42 = 322 m². (Leaving out the ½ in the triangle gives 364 m²; 280 m² ignores the added piece altogether.)

A plot of land is a rectangle 20 $m$ by 14 $m$ with an isosceles triangle of base 14 $m$ and height 6 $m$ built onto one of its shorter ends. Find the total area of the plot in $m^{2}$ .
