Answer:

58 m³

Explanation:

To find the area of irregular shapes like this, it is easy to split the shape into 2 individual shapes, find the area of both, then add the areas to find the total.

Now, we'll split it into 2 rectangles with areas of:

2 x 4

10 x 5

To find area, you multiply the length of one side by the other. The first rectangle's area is (2 x 4) and the other rectangle's area is (10 x 5).

10 x 5 = 50

2 x 4 = 8

50 + 8 = 58

The area of the figure is 58 m³.

Answer:

Ok first of all you start out splitting the shape into seperate rectangles, in this case 2. take those 2 rectangles and find the area of them. Say we start from the smaller rectangle. 2 x 4 = 8 so the area of the smaller rectangle is 8. Keep that in mind. Next we have to multiply 10 x 5 because that is the labeled number of meters and that equals 50. So add 50 + 8 = 58

Explanation:

Your answer is 58 meters

Really hope i helped and have a wonderful day! :)
