Find the Area of this figure.-example-1

Answer:

158 m²

Explanation:

I made this into 3 rectangles.

Figure 1:

9•8=72

The 9 is from the 13 m side, but I've taken 4 m off from the overlapping square.

Figure 2:

6•7=42

The 7 is from the 10 m side, but I've taken 4m off from the overlapping square again.

Remaining Area:

If you extend the lines into figures 1 and 2 from the top left corner and bottom right corner vertically, you will get a rectangle that is (11 m) x (4 m). This is not yet accounted for.

11•4=44

Add together: 72 + 42 + 44 = 158

*Note: You could also find the area of the squares a much easier way by subtracting the overlapping part after finding the area of both figures , but this is how I did it*
