Question

Find the area of the shape shown below.

Answer 1

Answer : The area of the shape is, 55 unit square

Step-by-step explanation :

The given shape is made up of two figures which are square and triangle.

Area of shape = Area of square + Area of triangle

Area of shape =
`(s)^2+(1)/(2)* b* h`

where,

s = side of square = 5 unit

b = base of triangle = 5 unit

h = height of triangle = 12 unit

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

Area of shape =
`(s)^2+(1)/(2)* b* h`

Area of shape =
`(5)^2+(1)/(2)* 5* 12`

Area of shape = 55 unit square

Therefore, the area of the shape is, 55 unit square
