Question

What is the area of this shape please help!!!!!

Answer 1

89 square cm

Explanation:

The shape has two rectangles and two triangles. The triangles are at the edges and for the area for triangle we get by 0.bh where b is base and h is heigjt. Since the triangles are same then the above formula is multiplied by 2 hence area is 0.5bh*2=bh. Here b is 4cm and h is 3 cm then are is
`4*3=12 cm^(2)`

Area of rectangle is given by lw where l is length and w is width

For the rectangle at the bottom, the area is
`11*4=44 cm^(2)`

For the rectangle on side, the area is
`11*3=33 cm^(2)`

Total area is 12+44+33=89 square cm
