What is the area of figure?

Answer 1

136 square meters

Explanation:

is this the picture of the question, if so, here are the steps

Step 1: we divide the figure into two rectangles, I have a picture with the figure separated into two rectangles

Step 2: We multiply the length and width of the first rectangle, which is:

Area of rectangle = b × h or length × width

But for the long rectangle let's use base × height

Base = 8m

Height = 16m

8 × 16 = 128

So the area for the first rectangle would be 128 square meters

Step 3: We must find the area of the other rectangle, so we must do Length × Width

Length = 4m

Width = 2m

4 × 2 = 8

So the area of the other rectangle is 8 square meters

Step4 : Now we add the two areas of both rectangles to find the area of the whole figure

128 + 8 = 136

So the area of the whole figure is 136 square meters
