Question

Solve based off of the screenshot provided below.

Answer 1

48 cm squared

Step-by-step explanation:

The given figure is composed of a rectangle (L=6 cm and W = 4 cm) and a right angled triangle { Base = (12- 4) = 8 cm, height = 6 cm. }

Area of the two figures is to be calculated separately and then added to get the required result.

Area of the rectangle = l × w

= 6 × 4

= 24 cm²

Area of the right triangle = ½ × base × height

= ½ × 8 × 6

= 24 cm²

Hence, area of the given figure = 24 + 24

= 48 cm squared.

Answer 2

48 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure can be cut into 1 rectangle and 1 triangle.

Area of the figure:

⇒ area of rectangle + area of triangle

⇒ Length × Width + 1/2 × Base × Height

⇒ 6 × 4 + 1/2 × 6 × 8

⇒ 24 + 24

⇒ 48

Therefore, area of figure is 48 cm².
