Question

What is the area of the figure?

A. 126 in2
B. 240 in2
C. 282 in2
D. 360 in2

Answer 1

Divide the figure into 2 rectangles. One being 12in x 13in and one being 18in x 7in. Find the area of each rectangle.
12in x 13in = 156in^2
18in x 7in = 126in^2
Add the two areas.
156 + 126 = 282in^2

282in^2 is the answer so (C)
