Question

Find the area of the given figure (all dimensions are in cm).

• A. $46c{m}^2$
• B. $36c{m}^2$
• C. $60c{m}^2$
• D. $63c{m}^2$

Answer 1

The correct option is B $36c{m}^2$

Divide the figure into 3 rectangles.
The area of figure will be the sum of areas of all the 3 rectangles.

Area of rectangle = Length x Breadth

Area of rectangle (1)
= $5cm\times 3cm=15c{m}^2$

Area of rectangle (2)
= $5cm\times 3cm=15c{m}^2$

Area of rectangle (3)
= $1cm\times 6cm=6c{m}^2$

Total Area
= Area of (1) + Area of (2) + Area of (3)
$=15+15+6$
$=30+6=36c{m}^2$

Therefore, area of the given figure = 36 $c{m}^2$.
