Question

Find the area of the shaded figure.

Answer 1

Sixty-eight square units

Answer 2

Answer:

58 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the area of the shaded figure

Lets break the figure into three parts

Top part of the figure is a rectangle

ARea of the rectangle = length times width

Length of the rectangle is 10 units and width is 5 units

Area of the top rectangle =  $10 \cdot 5= 50$ square units

We have two square at the bottom of the figure

side length of the square is 2 units

Area of the square = $side^2= 2^2= 4$

Area of shaded figure = area of rectangle + area of square + area of square

= $50+4+4= 58$ square units
