Question

How do u find the area?

Answer 1

Act like it's a rectangle. The height is 10 because 7+3=10 and the length it 27. Multiply them for the are and you get 270 in. Then multiply 6x7=42 because that's the are of the space that is missing from the imaginary rectangle. Multiply by 2 (84 in.) because there are 2 missing spaces and subtract from 270= 186 inches is your answer.

Answer 2

To find the area of any non-regular shaped figure; you cut it in half where you would see normal shapes. Now that you have two separate shapes, two rectangles, one long and one normal, you find the area. 7 inches is the "width" of the normal rectangle, and 15 inches is the "length". Multiply those to find the area. That would be 105. For the next rectangle, you want to multiply 27, the length, and 3 for the width. This would be 81. 105+81=186. The area of this figure is 186.
