Question

A store house is in the following form. What is the area of the store house?

• A. 96 sq ft
• B. 82 sq ft
• C. 102 sq ft
• D. 120 sq ft

Answer 1

The correct option is D 120 sq ft

The given figure is


It consists of


Area of rectangle = base $\times$ width

Base of the rectangle = 12 ft

Width of the rectangle = 8 ft

Area = 12 $\times$ 8 = 96 sq ft

Area of square = side $\times$ side

= 4 $\times$ 4

= 16 sq ft



Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times$ base $\times$ height

Base of triangle = 4 ft

Height of triangle = 4 ft

= $\frac{1}{2}$ $\times$ 4 $\times$ 4 = 8 sq ft



Total area = 96 + 16 + 8 = 120 sq ft

Hence, the total area = 120 sq ft
