Stuckeyburg is a very small town in rural America. Use the map to approximate the area of the town.

a. 40 miles²

b. 104 miles²

c. 93.5 miles²

d. 92 miles²

d. The area of Stuckeyburg will be found by dividing the region into a triangle and a rectangle . Determine the area of the rectangle (A = lw) and add the area of the triangle ( 1/2 bh) for the total area of the region. Referring to the sketch, the area of the rectangle is (10)(8) = 80 miles². The area of the triangle is 1/2 (8)(3) = 12 miles². The sum of the two regions is 80 miles² + 12 miles² = 92 miles². If you select a, you found the perimeter. If you select b, you found the area of the rectangular region but did not add the triangular region.
