Example Questions

Example Question #112 : Plane Geometry

What is the area of the figure below?


4

Possible Answers:

\(\displaystyle 64in^2\)

\(\displaystyle 62in^2\)

\(\displaystyle 24in^2\)

\(\displaystyle 68in^2\)

\(\displaystyle 40in^2\)

Correct answer:

\(\displaystyle 64in^2\)

Explanation:

To find the area of the figure above, we need to slip the figure into two rectangles. 

4.5

Using our area formula, \(\displaystyle A=l\times w\), we can solve for the area of both of our rectangles

\(\displaystyle A=8\times 5\)            \(\displaystyle A=6\times 4\)

\(\displaystyle A=40in^2\)           \(\displaystyle A=24in^2\)

To find our final answer, we need to add the areas together. 

\(\displaystyle 40in^2+24in^2=64in^2\)
