Question 2 Find the area of the figure below. Ty below. 24 yd 24 yd 24 yd 40 yd

Answer 1

Answer:

1536 yd²

Explanation:

To find the area of the figure, we need to divide the figure into 2 rectangles as:

So, the area of the first rectangle is equal to:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Area = Base x Height } \\ \text{Area = 24 yd x 24 yd} \\ \text{Area = 576 yd}^2 \end{gathered}$

In the same way, the area of the second rectangle is:

$\begin{gathered} \text{Area = Base x Height } \\ \text{Area = 40 yd }\times24\text{ yd} \\ \text{Area = 960 yd}^2 \end{gathered}$

So, the area of the figure is:

576 yd² + 960 yd² = 1536 yd²

Therefore, the answer is 1536 yd²
