Question

Please help me find the area of compound shapes?!?!

Answer 1

A = 27 cm²

Explanation:

the figure consists of 2 rectangles

the one on the right with dimensions 2 cm by 6 cm and

the one on the left with dimensions 5 cm by 3 cm

the total area (A) is then calculated as

A = (2 × 6) + (5 × 3) = 12 + 15 = 27 cm²

Answer 2

`27cm^(2)`

Explanation:

Area of compound shapes = Area of shape A + Area of shape B

Area of this shape = (L x B) + (L x B)
= (5 x 3) + (6 x 2)
= 15 + 12
=
`27cm^(2)`
