Solution

The correct option is C 45 cm2
Given,
EB = 10 cm,
DC = 5 cm
AF = 3 cm and
DG = 4 cm.

Area of pentagon ABCDE
= Area of trapezium BCDE + Area of AEB

Area of trapezium BCDE
=12×(Sum of parallel sides)×height
=12×(CD+BE)×DG
=12×(5+10)×4
=12×(15)×4
= 15×2
= 30 cm2

Area of AEB
=12×base×height
=12×BE×AF
=12×10×3=15 cm2

Area of pentagon ABCDE
= Area of trapezium BCDE + Area of AEB
= 30 cm2 + 15 cm2
= 45 cm2
