Question

Find the area of the head of the scarecrow given below.

• A. 12 square units
• B. 15 square units
• C. 20 square units
• D. 27 square units

Answer 1

The correct option is D 27 square units

The head of the scarecrow has a rectangle and 2 triangles.
Area of the rectangle = Length × Width
= $5\times 3$
= 15 square units

$Areaofatriangle=\frac{1}{2}\times 4\times 3$
= 6 square units

Area of two triangles = $6\times 2$
= 12 square units

Area of the head of the scarecrow
= 15 + 12 = 27 square units
