Question

Find the area of the figure given below.

• A. $36c{m}^2$
• B. $30c{m}^2$
• C. $24c{m}^2$
• D. $20c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$36c{m}^2$

The given figure can be divided into two different rectangles as shown below.

Area of the given figure = Area of the rectangle A + Area of the rectangle B
Area of Rectangle A:
Rectangle has length 4 cm and breadth 3 cm.
$\Rightarrow$ Area of rectangle A = 3 $\times$ 4 = $12c{m}^2$
Area of Rectangle B:
Rectangle has length 8 cm and breadth 3 cm.
$\Rightarrow$ Area of the rectangle B = 8 $\times$ 3 = $24c{m}^2$
$\therefore$ Area of the given figure = Area of the rectangle A + Area of the rectangle B
= 12 + 24 = $36c{m}^2$
