Answer:
the answer is 202 square inch
Explanation:
Ref. to the diagram I have attached.
First, we can find the area of the square.
Here the side of the square is given 4 inches.
1. So Area of the square= side * side= 4*4= 16 square inches.
Now let's find the area of the smaller rectangle. Now here,
As one side of the square is the same as the breadth of the rectangle, the breadth of the rectangle will be 4 inches, and the length is given 9 inches.
2. So, Area of the smaller rectangle= length* breadth= 9*4= 36 square inches.
Now, lastly, we will find the area of the bigger rectangle:
Here, the length will be 15 inches and the breadth will be 10 inches (as the opposite sides in a rectangle are equal and the values are already given).
3. ∴ Area of bigger rectangle= l*b= 15*10= 150 square inches.
So now,
To find the total area of the figure, we need to add all the areas:
36+ 16+ 150= 202 square in.
ANSWER IS 202 sq. in.
I know it's a bit long and boring to read, but hope it helps!!
