Question

find the area of the figure​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

firstly, area of the rectangle - ABEF

= L×B

$= 15 \times 12$

$= 180 \: {cm}^{2}$

after it, the area of the trapezium - BCDE

$= \frac{1}{2} (a + b) \times h$

$= \frac{1}{2} (12 + 4) \times 5$

$= \frac{1}{2} \times 16 \times 5$

$= 8 \times 5$

$= 40 \: {cm}^{2}$

so the total area is

$= 180 + 40$

$= 220 \: {cm}^{2}$
