Answer 1

it is a

Explanation:

Answer 2

24 square inches

Explanation:

We are given Image of letter E with height of 12 and width of 7

Inside space of height of 5 and width of 6

Initially calculate the area of rectangle ABKL = length *width = 12*7= 84 square inches

Now to get the area of given figure subtract the area of rectangle CDFE and HGJI from the rectangle ABKL

Area of CDEF = Area of HGJI because the length and width of the rectangles is same

Thus Area of CDEF = length *width =5*6 = 30 square inches

Thus the Area of HGJI = 30 square inches

Now subtract the area of both rectangles from the area of rectangle ABKL

⇒84-(30+30)

= 24 square inches .

Hence the area of given figure LETTER E = 24 square inches .
