Question

Find the area of the shape shown below.

Answer 1

Answer:

ok let's do this

first take the big rectangle and join the two dotted lines you get length 9 and breadth 3.5

then area of rectangle is 3.5*9=31.5

then the square formed after joining the dotted line

side=2 area=2*2=4

then the first triangle base 2 and height 2

then area =1/2*2*2=2

then second triangle base 2 and height 5

area=1/2*2*5=5

therefore area of the shaded figure is

31.5+4+2+5

31.5+11

42.5 (whatever the unit is given)
