Question

Calculate the area of the given figure.

• A. 56 sq ft
• B. 36 sq ft
• C. 62 sq ft
• D. 30 sq ft

Answer 1

The correct option is A 56 sq ft

The figure can be divided into two quadrilaterals as shown below:


Writing the dimensions, we see:


Area of rectangle = length × width
= 10 × 4 sq ft.
= 40 sq ft.

Area of the square = length × length
= 4 × 4 sq ft
= 16 sq ft.

Total area of the figure will be:
= Area of rectangle + Area of square
= 40 + 16 sq ft.
= 56 sq ft.
