Question

what is the area of the combined rectangle below? 20yd would be the base, 12yd would be the base, 5yd would be the height, 3yd would be the height. (A) 136 square yards ? (B) 100 square yards? (C) 76 square yards? (D) 64 square yards?

Answer 1

Since the area of a rectangle is base times height.
Combining the two areas, we get
A(total) = A1 + A2 = (20*5) + (12*3) = 136 square yard

The answer is A.
