Question

pls help me find the area of compound shapes?!?!

Answer 1

3x7 + 2x3 = 22 + 6 = 28 is the area

Answer 2

Answer= 27cm^2

Explanation:
• First, we split this shape into two rectangles.
• Area of bottom rectangle; 5x3=15cm^2
• Area of horizontal rectangle; 2x6=12cm^2
• Now we add the two rectangle areas together.
• 15cm^2 x 12cm^2= 27cm^2
