find the area of figure in square unit
Answers
Solution :
• See the attachment for the labels .
Let us break the figure into a few parts and calculate their area seperately. Adding them will give the total area !
Total Areas :
> Area of Rectangle ABCG + Area of rectangle DEGF
In rectangle ABCG
AG = BC = 3 units.
AB = GC = 1 unit .
Area of rectangle ABCG :
> AG × AB
> 3 unit² .
Area of rectangle DEGF :
> Length = 1 unit
> Breadth = 2 units .
Area - 2 unit ² .
Total area of figure : 5 unit² .
This is the required answer.

The area of a shape can be measured by comparing the shape to squares of a fixed size. In the International System of Units (SI), the standard unit of area is the square metre (written as m2), which is the area of a square whose sides are one metre long.
