Question

Find the area(ignore the line if you want)

Answer 1

Given:

Image of the figure

To find:

The area of the figure.

Solution:

The image is splitted into two shapes.

One is rectangle and the other is trapezium.

Reference image for answer is attached below.

Rectangle:

Length = 10 cm

Width = 2.8 cm

Area = length × width

= 10 × 2.8

Area = 28 cm²

Trapezium:

Top base = 6 cm

Bottom base = 10 cm

Height = 7.2 - 2.8 = 4.4 cm

Area =
`(1)/(2) *\left(b_(1)+b_(2)\right) * h`

`$=(1)/(2) *(6+10) * 4.4`

`$=(1)/(2) * 16 * 4.4`

Area = 35.2 cm²

Area of the figure = 28 cm² + 35.2 cm²

= 63.2 cm²

The area of the figure is 63.2 cm².
