Question

Could u plz help I don't know this at all

Answer 1

The area of the given figure is 56 sq cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The figure consists of 5 different diagrams: 4 triangles and a square

Each side of square = 4 cm

Height(h) of the triangle = 5 cm

Base(b) of the triangle = 4 cm

To find the area of the given figure

Formula

Area of square = side × side sq cm

Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$×base × height

So, area of square = 4 ×4 sq cm = 16 sq cm

Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$×4×5 sq cm = 10 sq cm

The area of 4 triangles = 10×4 sq cm = 40 sq cm

Hence the area of the given diagram = 40 + 16 sq cm = 56 sq cm
