<h3>Answer: 297 square cm</h3>
=============================================
Work Shown:
Break up the figure as shown in the diagram below.
A rectangle and trapezoid form
-------------
Area of rectangle = base*height = 9*15 = 135 cm^2
Area of trapezoid = (1/2)*(b1+b2)*h = (1/2)*(18+9)*12 = 162 cm^2
total area = (area of rectangle)+(area of trapezoid)
total area = (135) + (162)
total area = 297 square cm
The basic idea is that multiplying by 10 just moves the decimal point one place to the right. It makes the number bigger.
4.8 x 10 = 48
4.8 x 10 x 10 = 48 x 10 = 480
Each time you multiply by another 10, the decimal point moves one more time.
The expression says you're going to multiply by 10 five times in a row. So that will move the decimal point 5 places to the right.
So what do you get if you move the decimal in 4.8 five places to the right?
