Answer:
a. 26 cm²
b. 55 cm²
c. 78 cm²
d. 89.27 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The shape can be decomposed into two rectangles
Area of the larger rectangle = L*W
L = 7 cm
W = 2 cm
Area of the larger rectangle = 7*2 = 14 cm²
Area of the smaller rectangle = L*W
L = 4 cm
W = 5 - 2 = 3 cm
Area of the larger rectangle = 4*3 = 12 cm²
Area of the compound shape = 14 + 12 = 26 cm²
b. The shape can be decomposed into a rectangle and a triangle.
Area of the compound shape = area of rectangle + area of triangle
= L*W + ½*b*h
L = 8 cm
W = 5 cm
b = 5 cm
h = 14 - 8 = 6 cm
Plug in the values
Area = 8*5 + ½*5*6
Area = 40 + 15
= 55 cm²
c. The shape can be decomposed into a rectangle and a trapezoid
Area of the compound shape = area of the rectangle + area of the trapezoid
= L*W + ½(a + b)h
L = 12 cm
W = 3 cm
a = 12 cm
b = 9 cm
h = 4 cm
Plug in the values
Area = 12*3 + ½(12 + 9)4
Area = 36 + 42
Area = 78 cm²
d. The shape can be decomposed into a rectangle and a semicircle
Area of the compound shape = area of the rectangle + area of the semicircle
= L*W + ½(πr²)
L = 10 cm
W = 5 cm
r = ½(10) = 5 cm
Plug in the values
Area = 10*5 + ½(π*5²)
Area = 50 + 39.27
Area = 89.27 cm²
