The diagram shows a shape.
All of its corners are right angles.
Work out the area of the shape.

Answer 1

The area of the shape is 110 square centimeters

From the diagram, the shape can be subdivided into rectangles of the following dimensions:

• 6cm by 11cm
• 5cm by 6cm
• 7cm by 2cm

So, the area of the shape is the sum of the areas of the three rectangles.

This gives

$Area = 6cm \times 11cm + 5cm \times 6cm + 7cm \times 2cm$

Evaluate the products

$Area = 66cm^2 + 30cm^2 + 14cm^2$

Add the terms

$Area = 110cm^2$

Hence, the area of the shape is 110 square centimeters
