The two different ways of finding the area are,
Case 1 = assume horizontal rectangles,
Case 2 = assume vertical rectangles.
the rectangle is a four-sided polygon whose opposites sides are equal and has an angle of 90° between its sides.
Here,
case 1,
As shown in the image
Area = sum of horizontal rectangles
Area = 10 * 3 + 2 * 5 + 2 * 1
Area = 30 + 10 + 2
Area = 42
Case II,
As shown in right figure,
Area of the vertical rectangles
Area = 3 * 5 + 5 * 3 + 2 * 6
Area = 15 + 15 + 12
Area = 42
Here, the area in case 1 is equal to case 2.
Thus, the two different ways of finding the area have shown above.
