Question

Find the area of the compound figure. Round your answer to 2 decimal places if required. (Use π = 3.14)

Hello! I’ve been stuck on this problem for a while and—though I know the answer—I’m not sure how to get to it? Please help!

Answer 1

Perimeter is 3 + 3 +3 +4 +5 = 18 feet

Area = 3*3 = 9, 1/2*3*4 = 6, 9 + 6 =15 square feet

perimeter = 2.5 +2.5+ 2.5+2.5+0.5+0.5 = 11 meters

Area = 3*.5 = 1.5, 3*2=6, 6+1.5 = 7.5 square meters

perimeter = 3.14*2*3 = 18.84 +8 = 26.8 inches

Area = 6*4 = 24 + 3.14*3^2 = 28.26 = 28.26 +24 = 5
