Question

Part 11 What is the area of this figure? NO LINKS!!​

Answer 1

968 square miles

Explanation:

Extending the horizontal line segments across the figure divides it into 3 rectangles:

top: 5 mi × 25 mi

middle: 17 mi × 43 mi

bottom: 14 mi × 8 mi

The total area is the sum of products of length and width:

A = (5×25 +17×43 +14×8) mi² = (125 +731 +112) mi² = 968 mi²

Answer 2

shaded area = 538 mi²

Explanation:

area of bottom rectangle = 14 * 8 = 112 mi²

area of middle rectangle = 7 * ( 5 + 8 + 30) = 301 mi²

area of the upper rectangle = 5 * 25 = 125 mi²

Total shaded area = 125 mi² + 301 mi² + 112 mi²

= 538 mi²
