Question

14 in 8 in 5 in 7 in 9 in 15 in

Answer 1

To find the area of the whole figure, we can divide it into two rectangles, the smaller rectangle has dimensions of 5 inches by 8 inches.

`A_(small)=5in*8in=40in^2`

The bigger rectangle has dimensions of 9 inches by 15 inches.

`A_(bigger)=9in*15in=135in^2`

Then, we add

`A=40+135=175in^2`

Hence, the area of the figure is 175 square inches.
