Question

Part 23. NO LINKS!! What is the area of this figure?​

Answer 1

• 117 in²

Explanation:

Here are the steps on how we will solve this problem.

• Step 1: Divide the shape into squares and rectangles.
• Step 2: Find the area of all squares and rectangles
• Step 3: Sum up all the areas to get your final answer.

Now, let's follow the steps. Please consider looking at the picture I uploaded. Looking at the picture, we can tell that the area is 70 + 32 + 15. Now, let's solve.

• 70 + 32 + 15
• => 102 + 15
• => 117 in²

Hence, the area of the shape is 117 in².

Answer 2

117 in²

Explanation:

The area of a rectangle is given by the formula ...

A = LW

Extending the vertical lines on this figure divides it into three rectangles. The area of the figure is the sum of the areas of those rectangles:

A = (5 in)(3 in) +(16 in)(2 in) +(7 in)(10 in) = (15 +32 +70) in² = 117 in²
