Question

Find the area of that shape please and show work

Answer 1

Given:

AB = 9 in, BC = 2 in

DE = 3 in, EF = 3 in

To find:

The area of the shape

Solution:

ABCH is a rectangle.

Area of rectangle = length × width

                             = AB × BC

                             = 9 × 2

Area of ABCH = 18 in²

GDEF is a square.

Area of square = side × side

                         = DE × EF

                         = 3 × 3

Area of GDEF = 9 in²

Area of the shape = Area of ABCH + Area of GDEF

                              = 18 in² + 9 in²

                              = 27 in²

The area of the shape is 27 in².
