Question

12 yd. Save Sub 3 yd. 9 yd. 6 yd. Find the area of the shape. es )) A) 39 square yards B) 56 square yards 72 square yards D) 108 square yards

Answer 1

we divide the shape

now calculate the area of each shape

First

formula of the area of a rectangle is

`A=b* h`

where b is the base and h the height

`\begin{gathered} A=6*9 \\ A=54 \end{gathered}`

first area is 54 square yd

Second

area

`\begin{gathered} A=3*6 \\ A=18 \end{gathered}`

second area is 18 square yd

Total area

We sum both areas to find the total area of the shape

`\begin{gathered} A=54+18 \\ A=72 \end{gathered}`

Total area of the shape is 72 square yd
