Question

Calculate the area of the given shape.

• A. $18c{m}^2$
• B. $56c{m}^2$
• C. $54c{m}^2$
• D. $20c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $54c{m}^2$

Area of the shape A = Area of a square

= side x side

$=(4\times 4)c{m}^2$

$=16c{m}^2$

Breadth of shape B = 8 cm – 3 cm – 3 cm = 2 cm

Area of the shape B = Area of a rectangle

= Length x Breadth

$=(3\times 2)c{m}^2$

$=6c{m}^2$

Area of the shape C = Area of a rectangle

= Length x Breadth

$=(8\times 4)c{m}^2$

$=32c{m}^2$

Total area = Area of shape A + Area of shape B + Area of shape C

$=(16+6+32)c{m}^2$

$=54c{m}^2$
