Answer:
30.56 yd²
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine the area of the composite shape, we need to:
- Divide the shape into two smaller "known" shapes (Refer to image).
- Determine the area of those "known" shapes.
- Add the area of the known shapes to obtain the area of the figure.
<u>Determining the area of shape 1 (Rectangle 1):</u>
⇒ Area of rectangle = Lenght × Breadth
⇒ = 2.1 × 4.8
⇒ = 10.08 yd²
<u>Determining the area of shape 2 (Rectangle 2):</u>
⇒ Area of rectangle = Lenght × Breadth
⇒ = 6.4 × 3.2
⇒ = 20.48 yd²
<u>Determining the area of the figure:</u>
⇒ Area of figure = Area of rectangle 1 + Area of rectangle 2
⇒ = 10.08 + 20.48
⇒ = 30.56 yd²
