Question

Find the area of the figure.
(Sides meet at right angles.)

Answer 1

See below.

Explanation:

We are asked to find the area of the figure.

Let's first break the figure into 2 parts, where there is 2 rectangles.

Rectangle A has the dimensions of 4 mm to 2 mm.

Rectangle B has the dimensions of 3 mm to 2 mm.

For clarification what rectangle is which, Rectangle A is on its smallest side, and Rectangle B is on its longest side.

To find the area of the 2 rectangles we multiply the 2 dimensions given to us, then add their areas together.

`A = L * W`

Substitute:

`8 = 4 * 2 \ (Rectangle \ A)`

`6 = 3 * 2 \ (Rectangle \ B)`

Add:

`6+8=14 \ (A \ and \ B)`

The area of the figure is 14 mm².

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is 14mm

Step-by-step explanation: Area of A= 4mm times 2mm= 8mm

Area of B= 3mm times 2mm= 6mm

8mm + 6mm= 14mm

How I got Area A or Area of A Is I divided the shape into two with an imaginary line
