Question

The figure below has to be covered with multi-colored cloth. What is the area of the cloth in sq mm that is needed?

Answer 1

26,250 sq mm^2

Explanation:

First i cut the shape so its a rectangle on the top and there is a vertical rectangle. Then you find the lengths and to do that for the first rectangle(the horizontal one) you add 75, 75 and 75 to get the length. Then multiply 225(the sum of the 3 75s) by 75 (width) which gets you 16,875.

That is the area of the first rectangle

Now for the vertical rectangle you simply multiply the length and width, 75x125. That equals 9,375. Now add.

9375+16875= 26250!!!!
