Question

Find the area of the figure. (Sides meet at right angles.)4 ydA yd2 yd2 yd4 yd4 yd4 yd

Answer 1

We will determine the area of the shape as follows:

*First: We segment the shape into two different rectangles and then we find the area of both rectangles, that is:

$A_1=_{}4\cdot(2+4+2)\Rightarrow A_1=32$$A_2=4\cdot4\Rightarrow A_2=16$

*Second: We add both areas:

$A_t=48$

So, the total area of the shape is 48 square yards.
