Question

A farmer has a land in the following form. The area of the land is

• A. 164 sq m
• B. 192 sq m
• C. 264 sq m

Answer 1

The correct option is C 264 sq m

The land contains one rectangular part and one parallelogram part.

Area of rectangle = length $\times$breadth

length of rectangle = 12m

breadth of rectangle = 6m

Area of rectangle = 12 $\times$6 = 72 sq m

Area of parallelogram = base $\times$ height

Base = 12m

Height =16m

Area of parallelogram = 12 $\times$16 = 192

Total area = 72 + 192 = 264 sq m
