Question

Area of compound figures. IXL Geometry help pls !

Answer 1

70 m²

Explanation:

Look at the picture.

The formula of an area of a rectangle:

`A = lw\\\\l-length\\w-width`

RECTANGLE 2m × 3m:

`A_1=(2)(3)=6\ m^2`

RECTANGLE 5m × 8m:

`A_2=(5)(8)=40\ m^2`

RECTANGLE 2m × 12m:

`A_3=(2)(12)=24\ m^2`

The area of this figure:

`A=A_1+A_2+A_3\\\\A=6+40+24=70\ m^2`
