The area of these combined rectangles would be 40 square meters.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's partition this irregular shape into 3 rectangles. Let's begin with the first or larger rectangle. The formula of the area of a rectangle is length times width. So, we know the length is 10 meters, but we don't know the width. We can see the 5 meters measurements and subtract 6 meters with 5 meters to get us to 1 meter. We just found the width of the first rectangle; it is 1 meter. So, let us calculate 10 meters times 1 meter which equals 10 square meters. Keep this aside. Now, notice that the left and right rectangles are visually congruent. Let us focus on one rectangle, the left or right one; you choose. The length is 3 meters. Now, we have to deal with the width. 6 meters minus 1 meter is 5 meters. So do 3 meters times 5 meters which equals to 15 meters squared. Since we have two similar rectangles multiply that by two; so 15 square meters times two rectangles is 30 square meters. Now, add 30 square meters with the preliminary 10 meters and you get 40 square meters. Therefore, the area of the combined rectangles is 40 square meters. If this helps, please rank Brainliest.
