Answer 1

Answer:

384 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape of the figure given in the question above is simply a combined shape of parallelogram and rectangle.

To obtain the area of the figure, we shall determine the area of the parallelogram and rectangle. This can be obtained as follow:

For parallelogram:

Height (H) = 7.5 cm

Base (B) = 24 cm

Area of parallelogram (A₁) =?

A₁ = B × H

A₁ = 24 × 7.5

A₁ = 180 cm²

For rectangle:

Length (L) = 24 cm

Width (W) = 8.5 cm

Area of rectangle (A₂) =?

A₂ = L × W

A₂ = 24 × 8.5

A₂ = 204 cm²

Finally, we shall determine the area of the shape.

Area of parallelogram (A₁) = 180 cm²

Area of rectangle (A₂) = 204 cm²

Area of figure (A)

A = A₁ + A₂

A = 180 + 204

A = 384 cm²

Therefore, the area of the figure is 384 cm²
