Question

7 cm 5 cm 5 cm 11 cm Find the area of this figure.

Answer 1

The given image can be divided into two parallelograms.

The area of a parallelogram is defined by

$A=b\times h$

Let's find each area

$A_1=11\operatorname{cm}\times5\operatorname{cm}=55(cm)^2$$A_2=7\operatorname{cm}\times5\operatorname{cm}=35(cm)^2$

Then, we add these areas

$A=A_1+A_2=55(cm)^2+35(cm)^2=90(cm)^2$

Hence, the area of the figures is 90 square centimeters.
