Question

Find the area of the figure of cat given below.

• A. 90 square units
• B. 93 square units
• C. 95 square units
• D. 98 square units

Answer 1

The correct option is C 95 square units

Area of the cat = Area of the square + Area of the Rectangle A + Area of Rectangle B + Area of Rectangle C + Area of Rectangle D + Area of Rectangle E + Area of Triangle F + Area of Triangle G + Area of Triangle H

Area of the square = Side × Side
= 4 × 4 = 16 square units

Area of a rectangle = Length × Width

Area of Rectangle A = 10 × 6 = 60 square units

Area of Rectangle B = Area of Rectangle C = $6\times 0.5$ = 3.0 square units

Area of Rectangle D = Area of Rectangle E = $4\times 0.5$ = 2.0 square units

Area of Triangle F = Area of Triangle G
$=\frac{1}{2}\times 2\times 1.5$
= 1.5 square units

Area of Triangle H
$=\frac{1}{2}\times 3\times 4$
= 6 square units

Area of the cat = 16 + 60 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 1.5 + 1.5 + 6 = 95 square units
