Question

What is the area of this figure?

Answer 1

Area of figure = 58

Explanation:

We need to divide this figure into 3 triangles and 1 rectangle.

Area of triangle = 1/2 (height * base)

Area of rectangle = Length * breadth

Triangle1

area = 1/2 (6*1)

area = 1/2 (3*2)

area = 3

Triangle2

area = 1/2 (6*1)

area = 4

Triangle3

area = 1/2 (3*6)

area = 9

Rectangle

area = 7 * 6

area = 42

Area of figure = 42 + 9 + 4 +3

So the area of figure = 58
