Question

Find the area of the figure. (Sides meet at right angles.)4 m5 m15 m5 m5 m4 m4 m

Answer 1

The area of the figure will be the area of the rectangle of the top, plus the area of the rectangle of the bottom:

The area of the rectangle of the top is:

`A1=w1\cdot h1=5\cdot4=20m^2`

The area of the rectangle of the bottom is:

`A2=w2\cdot h2=14\cdot4=56m^2`

so, the total area is:

`A=A1+A2=20m^2+56m^2=76m^2`
