Question

Find the area of the shape below
11 ft
7 ft
10 ft
8 ft
2 ft

Answer 1

`\qquad\qquad\huge\underline{{\sf Answer}}♨`

Let's solve ~

Area of whole shape = Area of greater rectangle - area of smaller rectangle

Area of greater rectangle :

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:11 * 10`

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:110 \: \: ft {}^(2)`

Area of smaller rectangle :

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:7 * 8`

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:56 \: \: ft {}^(2)`

Area of composite figure :

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:110 \: ft {}^(2) - 56 \: ft {}^(2)`

`\qquad \sf  \dashrightarrow \:54 \: {ft}^(2)`
