Question

Part 24. What is the area of this figure? NO LINKS!!!

​

Answer 1

Answer:

578 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure has been divided into 3 rectangles, namely A, B and C.

Area of rectangle= length ×breadth

Rectangle A

length= 5 ft

breadth= 11 ft

area= 5(11)= 55 ft²

Rectangle B

length= 7 ft

breadth= 15 +13 +4= 32 ft

area= 7(32)= 224 ft²

Rectangle C

length= 23 ft

breadth= 13 ft

area= 23(13)= 299 ft²

Area of figure

= 55 +224 +299

= 578 ft²

Answer 2

Solution:

To find the area of the figure, we must:

1. Divide the figure into smaller shapes (Refer to image)
2. Find the area of the small shapes
3. Add the areas of the small shapes to obtain the area of the figure.

Finding the area of Rectangle (Dimensions: 11 ft and 5 ft):

• => 11 x 5 ft²
• => 55 ft²

Finding the area of Rectangle (Dimensions: 7 ft and 32 ft):

• => 32 x 7 ft²
• => 224 ft²

Finding the area of Rectangle (Dimensions: 13 ft x 23 feet):

• 23 x 13 ft²
• => 299 ft²

Finding the area of the figure:

• 299 + 224 + 55
• => 578 ft²

The area of the figure is 578 ft².
