Question

If x = 3 inches, y = 11 inches, w = 5 inches, and z = 5 inches, what is the area of the object?

A. 45 square inches
B. 35 square inches
C. 24 square inches
D. 66 square inches

Answer 1

Given:

`\begin{gathered} x=3in \\ y=11in \\ z=5in \\ w=5in \end{gathered}`

Required:

To find the area of the given figure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given figure

Now first we have to calculate the area of the first rectangle.

The formula for area of the rectangle is,

`A1=l* w`

Here

`\begin{gathered} l=11in \\ w=3in \end{gathered}`

Therefore,

`\begin{gathered} A1=11*3 \\ =33in^2 \end{gathered}`

The area of the second rectangle is,

`A2=l* w`

Here,

`\begin{gathered} l=6in \\ w=2in \end{gathered}`

Therefore,

`\begin{gathered} A2=6*2 \\ =12in^2 \end{gathered}`

The total area of the given figure is,

`\begin{gathered} A=A1+A2 \\ =33+12 \\ =45in^2 \end{gathered}`

Final Answer:

The area of the figure is 45 square inches.
