Question

5. find the total area of the figure below

Answer 1

Answer:

$134 ft^2$ the total area of the given figure.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of the bigger rectangle = 13 ft

Breadth of the bigger rectangle = x

Area of the bigger rectangle = A = 13 ft × x

Length of the smaller rectangle = 5ft

Breadth of the smaller rectangle = y = 6 ft

Area of the smaller rectangle = a = 5ft × 6ft

from the figure :

x + y = 14

x = 14ft - 6 ft = 8 ft

Total area of the figure = A + a

$=13 ft\times 8 ft+5ft\times 6ft=134 ft^2$

$134 ft^2$ the total area of the given figure.
