Question

Find the area if the composite shape

Answer 1

Answer:

111 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

A rectangle is a quadrilateral (has four sides and four angle) with two pairs of parallel sides. Opposite sides of a rectangle are equal to each other. Also all the angles of a rectangle are 90° each.

The area of a rectangle = length * width

For rectangle 1, length = 12 m, width = 3 m

Therefore area of rectangle 1 = length * width = 12 m * 3 m = 36 m²

For rectangle 2, length =(12 m - 3 m - 3 m) = 6 m, width =(15 m - 10 m) =5 m

Therefore area of rectangle 2 = length * width = 6 m * 5 m = 30 m²

For rectangle 3, length = 15 m, width = 3 m

Therefore area of rectangle 3 = length * width = 15 m * 3 m = 45 m²

Area of composite shape = Area of rectangle 1 + Area of rectangle 2 + Area of rectangle 3

Area of composite shape = 36 m² + 30 m² + 45 m² = 111 m²
