Question

5in 4in 5in 12in 4in 5in 9in area of irregular figures

Answer 1

`125in^2`

Step-by-step explanation

We want to find the area of the figure given.

To do this, we have to partition the figure into smaller shapes:

Now, we have three smaller rectangles and we can find each of the areas and add them up to find the area of the entire figure.

The area of a rectangle is given as:

`A=L\cdot W`

where L = length, W = width

RECTANGLE A

Its area is:

`\begin{gathered} A=5\cdot4 \\ A=20in^2 \end{gathered}`

RECTANGLE B

Its area is:

`\begin{gathered} A=17\cdot5 \\ A=85in^2 \end{gathered}`

RECTANGLE C

Its area is:

`\begin{gathered} A=5\cdot4 \\ A=20in^2 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the area of the figure is:

`\begin{gathered} A=20+85+20 \\ A=125in^2 \end{gathered}`
