Question

Calculate the AREA of the shape below. Give your answer in cm²

Answer 1

26 cm^2

Explanation:

you have two rectangles, the bigest has the base of 6cm and the height of 4cm, the area is 6 * 4 = 24cm ^ 2, the other rectangle has the base of 6 - 4 = 2 and the height of 5 - 4 = 1, 2*1=2.

we add the dimensions and we have the area of ​​the complete figure 24 + 2 =

26 cm ^ 2

Answer 2

• 
  `\boxed{\bf 26\: cm^2}`

Explanation:

We got two shapes in the given figure,on the right we got a rectangle and on the left we have a square.

Area of rectangle:-

• 
  `\bf 5 * 2`
• 
  `\bf 10 \:cm^(2)`

Area of square :-

• 
  `\bf 4 * 4`
• 
  `\bf 16 \: {cm}^(2)`

Total area :-

• 
  `\bf 10 + 16`
• 
  `\boxed{\bf 26 \: {cm}^(2) }`
