Question

5in 6in 7in 14in 7in 8in 14in area of irregular figures

Answer 1

Notice that the irregular figure can be separated into three rectangles:

Find the area of each rectangle and add them all together to find the area of the irregular figure:

`\begin{gathered} A_1=7in*8in=56in^2 \\ A_2=22in*7in=154in^2 \\ A_3=5in*6in=30in^2 \end{gathered}`

Then, the area of the irregular figure, is:

`A=56in^2+154in^2+30in^2=240in^2`

Therefore, the area of the composite figure, is:

`240\text{ }in^2`
