Question

What is the area of ABDC? Assume ABDC lies in the center of the larger rectangle.

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of ABDC is 24 square feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given rectangle ABDC which lies in the center of the larger rectangle. We have to find the area of ABDC.

Length of rectangle=outer length-given gap from both sides

                                =12-3-3=6 ft.

Breadth of rectangle=outer breadth-given gap from both sides

                                 =10-3-3=4 ft.

Now, $\text{area of rectangle ABDC=}Length\times breadth$

                                              $=6\times 4=24ft^2$

hence, area of ABDC is 24 square feet.

Option C is correct.

Answer 2

The area of rectangle ABCD should be 24. Since the length is 6 and the height is 4.
