Find the area of the following shape:
2 answers:
Answer:
36 cm squared
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this problem, I first construct a line. (shown in yellow in the first photo)
I then find the area of the top rectangle. (6 cm * 4 cm = 24 cm squared.)
Next, I find the area of the lower rectangle. But...to do that I have to find the length of the line that I constructed. To do this, I do 6cm-2cm=4cm.
Then I can find the area of the lower rectangle. (4cm*3cm=12cm squared.)
add up the area of both of the rectangles and.........12+24=36 cm squared

so if 5.5 is in meter let change it to cm because the question want us to give the answer in cm.
now we multiply 5.5 times 100 which is equal to 550.
next we subtract 550 - 220= 330.
finally, the difference between a teacher and student is 330cm .meaning the teacher's desk is 330 cm longer or taller than the student.
