Question

Find the area of the following shape (in sq. m)

• A. 96
• B. 90
• C. 80
• D. 76

Answer 1

The correct option is A 96

Area of the above shapes can be calculated in three steps:

i) Area of shape marked 1

ii) Area of shape marked 2

iii) Area of shape marked 3

Area of shape marked 1 = Area of rectangle = length x breadth

= 10 x 4

= 40 m²

Area of shape marked 2 = Area of rectangle = length x breadth

= 8 x 2

= 16 m²

Area of shape marked 3 = Area of rectangle = length x breadth

= 10 x 4

= 40 m²

Area of shape = Area of shape marked 1 + Area of shape marked 2 + Area of shape marked 3

= (40 + 16 + 40) m²

= 96 m²
