Question

Two congruent squares and a parallelogram were used to form the figure shown. 3 meters, 6 meters, 2.8 meters, 3 meters What is the area of the figure in square meters?

Answer 1

The area of a figure is the amount of space the figure occupies

The surface area of the figure is 34.8 square meters

How to determine the area of the shape

From the question, we have:

• The dimensions of the congruent squares are 3 m by 3 m
• The dimensions of the parallelogram are height of 2.8 m, and base of 6 m

So, the area of the figure is:

Area = 2 * Area of square + Area of parallelogram

This gives

$Area = 2 * (3m * 3m) + 2.8m * 6m$

Evaluate the products

$Area = 18m^2 + 16.8m^2$

Evaluate the sum

$Area = 34.8m^2$

Hence, the surface area of the figure is 34.8 square meters
