Question

||| GEOMETRY Area of a piecewise rectangular figure Find the area of the figure. (Sides meet at right angles.) 5 ft 5 ft 3 ft 3 ft 5 ft 3 ft 5 ft 0 ft²

Answer 1

Given:

The figure with side measurements.

Required:

Find the area of the figure.

Step-by-step explanation:

We will first draw figure

From figure we can see that ABCJ and IDEH are rectangles.

We need area of rectangle formula. That is

`A=length* width`

Now, area of given figure

`\begin{gathered} A=\text{ Area of rectangle ABCJ + Area of rectangle IDEH} \\ A=(5*3)+(9*5) \\ A=15+45 \\ A=60ft^2 \end{gathered}`
