Question

Select the correct answer from each drop-down menu.

The given composite shape has an area of (72,78,66,84) cm2 and a perimeter of (42,47,40,33) cm.

Answer 1

78 cm²

42 cm

Explanation:

To obtain the area of the shape given :

The figure is divide into three different rectanglular parts :

Recall, area of a rectangle = Length x width :

Rectangle 1 : 9* 6 = 54 cm²

Rectangle 2 = 6 * 2 = 12 cm²

Rectangle 3 = 4 * 3 = 12 cm²

Total area = (54 + 12 + 12). = 78 cm²

Perimeter = sun of the exterior sides of the shape

Perimeter = (9 + 8 + 3 + 4 + 3 + 6 + 3 + 6) = 42 cm
