Given:
Image of the figure
To find:
The area of the figure.
Solution:
The image is splitted into two shapes.
One is rectangle and the other is trapezium.
Reference image for answer is attached below.
Rectangle:
Length = 10 cm
Width = 2.8 cm
Area = length × width
= 10 × 2.8
Area = 28 cm²
Trapezium:
Top base = 6 cm
Bottom base = 10 cm
Height = 7.2 - 2.8 = 4.4 cm
Area = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times(b_1+b_2)\times h[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{2} \times(6+10)\times 4.4[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{2} \times16\times 4.4[/tex]
Area = 35.2 cm²
Area of the figure = 28 cm² + 35.2 cm²
= 63.2 cm²
The area of the figure is 63.2 cm².
