Question

Find the area of the shape below

Answer 1

235 cm^2

Explanation:

Split this shape into two rectangles.

The first rectangle is 11 cm in length and 14 cm in width. The second rectangle is 9 cm in length and 9 cm in width.

Use the formula for area, L * W, for each rectangle

The first rectangle's area is 154 cm^2

The second rectangle's area is 81 cm^2

Add these two areas together, and you get 235 cm^2

Answer 2

Explanation:

Area of rectangle A1 = length *width

= 14*11

= 154 cm²

area of square A2 = side *side

= 9*9

= 81 cm²

Area of the shape = 154 + 81

= 235 cm²
