Question

The figure is formed from rectangles. Find the total area.
Answer options: 68, 36, 80, 104

Answer 1

Answer: 68

Explanation:

The ara of the figure is the sum of the ara of the rectangles shown attachd.

The area of arectangle is:

A=l*w

Where l is the length and w is the width

Therfore, you have that ther area is:

A=(8ft*8ft)+(2ft*2ft)

A=64ft+4ft

A=68 ft

Answer 2

Option 1. 68 ft²

Explanation:

It is given in the figure side of the big rectangle = 8 ft

Side of small rectangle = 2ft

Area of the given figure = area of big rectangle + area of the small rectangle

Area of big rectangle = side² = 8² = 64 ft²

Area of the small rectangle = side of small rectangle² = 2² =4

Now the total area of the figure formed from the rectangles = 64 + 4 = 68

Therefore option 1 is the correct answer.
