Question

What is the area of the following composite figure ? All angles are right angles.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to study the structure well

We can find the magnitude of the big rectangle. We will need to find the total length and total breadth of the big rectangle

Then we remove the area of the four squared cut out from the big rectangle.

Total length of the rectangle is 5+1+1=7m

Then the length of the breath of the rectangle is 2+1+1=4m

So area of rectangle is given as length × breadth

Area= l×b

Area=7×4=28m²

Area of the big rectangle is 28m²

Then the squared is made of dimension 1m by 1m

Area of a square is s²

Then, a=1m

Area of the square= 1²=1m²

There are four squared side

Then, the total area of the four squared is 4×1=4m²

Then the required area is

Area=Total area - area of four squared side

Area=28m²-4m²

Area =24m²

Area of the figure is 24m²

The correct option is C.
