Question

1) 14 units2 2) 16 units2 3) 17 units2 4) 19 units2

Answer 1

Answer:

4th option: 19 units2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given figure can be divided as (i) upper rectangle, (ii) lower rectangle

Then,

(i) Breadth of upper rectangle = 2 units

Length of upper rectangle = 8 - 1 = 7 units

Therefore,

Area of the upper rectangle = 7 × 2 = 14 units2

(ii) Breadth of lower rectangle = 1 unit

Length of lower rectangle = 5 units

Therefore,

Area of the lower rectangle = 5 × 1 = 5 units2

Since,

Area of the figure is = Area of upper rectangle + Area of lower rectangle

= 14 units2 + 5 units2

= 19 units2 (Ans) (4th option)
