Question

Hi can anyone help me with this please

Answer 1

Break it up into pieces. The answer is 35in^2

Explanation:

I took the first rectangle you see which is 5in by 2. Multiply that and you get 10

I then took the second one and is the 5 in by 3in. Multiply those and you get 15

The last one is the exact same as the first one

Add the areas all together and you get the area of the whole shape

Hope that helps

Answer 2

Answer:35in.

Explanation:

I reccomend splitting it into sections when given problems like this.

The smaller two rectangles would be 5in * 2in which is 10in then just add them together.

For the bigger one, you'd do 5-2 in order to get the missing inches which will be 3+2 once added 5in*3in is 15in.

Finally, add 15+10+10 (15=The middle rectangle and 10=the sides)
