1. The area of the figure is 42 units².
2. The area of the figure is 38 units²
The area of a figure is the extent of its 2D space, quantifying the region it occupies.
It's calculated using specific formulas based on the figure's geometric properties, such as length, width, and shape.
1. The figure can be splitted into 3
Area1 = 1/2bh
= 1/2 × 7 × 2
= 7units²
Area 2 = l × w
= 7 × 4 = 28 units²
Area 3 = 1/2bh
= 1/2 × 7 × 2
= 7 units²
Area of figure = 28+7+7
= 42 units²
2. The shape can be divided into a trapezoid and two equal triangles
area of Trapezoid = 1/2(a+b)h
= 1/2 ( 3+5)8
= 8 × 4
= 32 units²
area of triangle = 1/2bh
= 1/2 × 3 × 4
= 6 units²
area of the figure = 32 + 6
= 38 units²
