Question

Find the area of the figure.EXPlAIN THE STEPS!!!!

Answer 1

Answer:

30.56 yd²

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the area of the composite shape, we need to:

1. Divide the shape into two smaller "known" shapes (Refer to image).
2. Determine the area of those "known" shapes.
3. Add the area of the known shapes to obtain the area of the figure.

Determining the area of shape 1 (Rectangle 1):

⇒ Area of rectangle = Lenght × Breadth

⇒                               = 2.1 × 4.8

⇒                               = 10.08 yd²

Determining the area of shape 2 (Rectangle 2):

⇒ Area of rectangle = Lenght × Breadth

⇒                               = 6.4 × 3.2

⇒                               = 20.48 yd²

Determining the area of the figure:

⇒ Area of figure = Area of rectangle 1 + Area of rectangle 2

⇒                         = 10.08 + 20.48

⇒                         = 30.56 yd²
