Question

What is the area of this face?
100 in2
200 in2
150 in
400 in2

Answer 1

Answer: The yellow face has an area of 200 in^2

Explanation:

The height of each of the two square areas is 10 in. The width is 10. A=w × h

10 × 10 = 100. Times 2 for the total for the yellow face.

Don't be confused by the 5-inch offset.

Answer 2

Answer: 200 in

Explanation:

Try to split up the face into pieces. You can make the first piece the square on the top. Only, you don't know the value of the bottom side, but you can see that it is 10 (if you look at the top at the back). So, if you do your multiplication, 10 x 10 = 100. So, that is the area of the first square. The next square also has a width and height of 10, (10 on the bottom, and follow the side to the other 10). Do the multiplication again (same as above) and get 100. Now that you have the area of the two pieces, you add then together: 100+100=200
