Type the correct answer in the box. The area of the figure is _ square units. 2 units 8 units. 6 units

  80 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the figure can be found by decomposing into parts whose area is easy to find, then adding the areas of those parts.

We choose to consider the figure to be composed of two congruent trapezoids and a rectangle.

__

Each trapezoid has bases of 6 units and 10 units, and a height of 2 units. Its area will be ...

  A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h

  A = 1/2(6 +10)(2) = 16 . . . . square units

__

  The central rectangle has dimensions of 6 units by 8 units. Its area will be ...

  A = LW

  A = (8)(6) = 48 . . . . square unit

__

The total area is the sum of the areas of the two trapezoids and the rectangle:

  total area = 2(16) +48 = 80 . . . . square units

2 and 1.

step-by-step explanation:

plug in each answer. 0 doesn't work, 1 does. so does 2. 4 doesn't:

0 = 1 is not true.

2 = 2 is true.

4 = 4 is true.

8 = 16 is not true.

hope this !
