Question

What is the area of the figure?

A) 36 cm2

B) 48 cm2

C) 90 cm2

D) 102 cm2

Answer 1

B)48

Explanation:

Cut the figure to get 2 rectangles. 9x4=36 And then 6x2=12. Add the two numbers 36+12 to get 48.

Answer 2

48 cm^2

Explanation:

We can split this into 2 rectangles

The lower rectangle is 10 by 2

Area = 10*2 = 20 cm^2

The upper rectangle is 9-2 by 10-6 or 7 by 4

A = 7*4 = 28 cm^2

The total area is found by adding the areas together

A = 20 + 28 = 48 cm^2
