Question

by splitting figures 1 and 2 into rectangles find their areas (the measures are given in centimeters)

Answer 1

Answer:

I ) Area of figure ( a )

= Area of [ ( 1 ) + ( 2 ) + ( 3 ) + ( 4 ) ]

= (4 × 2) + (6 × 1) + (2 × 3) +( 2 × 4 )

= 8 + 6 + 6 + 8

= 28 square cm

ii ) Area of the figure ( b )

= Area of [ ( 1 ) + ( 2 ) + ( 3 ) ]

= ( 5 × 1 ) + ( 2 × 1 ) + ( 2 × 1 )

= 5 + 2 + 2

= 9 cm²

I hope this helps you.
