Question

The area of the figure below issquare units?​

Answer 1

The area of the figure is 27.5 square units.

Solution:

The given image is a trapezium.

Count the small boxes to find the length.

Length of top base ($b_1$) = 4 units

Length of bottom base ($b_2$) = 7 units

Height of the trapezium = 5 units

Area of the trapezium:

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times (b_1+b_2)\times h$

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times (4+7)\times 5$

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times 11\times 5$

$A=\frac{1}{2}\times 55$

A = 27.5 square units.

The area of the figure is 27.5 square units.
