Question

i need help pleasePaul is sewing the patch shown on to his uniform. What is the area of the patch?The area of the patch is ____ square centimeters.

Answer 1

The shape is made up of a square and 4 rectangles

Area of a square = length x length

length = 2cm

Area = 2 x 2= 4 square cm

`\begin{gathered} \text{Area of triangle} \\ =(1)/(2)* base\text{ }* height \end{gathered}`

base= 2cm

height = 3cm

The total area of patch = area of all triangles + area of square

= 12 + 4= 16 square cm
