Question

Find the area of the compound shape below.pls help

Answer 1

22cm²

Explanation:

For the area of triangle,

base = 2 + 2 + 2 = 6cm

height = 4cm

Area = 1/2 x base x height

= 1/2 x 6 x 4

= 12cm²

For area of the rectangle,

length = 5cm

breadth = 2cm

Area = length x breadth

= 5 x 2

= 10cm²

Area of compound shape = 12 + 10 = 22 cm²
