Question

The area of the given figure (all dimensions in units) will be:

• A. $60\text{sq. units}$
• B. $36\text{sq. units}$
• C. $46\text{sq. units}$
• D. $63\text{sq. units}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $60\text{sq. units}$

The given figure can be divided into squares and rectangles, as shown:


The area of the figure is the sum of the areas of the square $1$ and the rectangles $2$ and $3$.

$=(1\times 1)+(4\times 5)+(3\times 5)$
$=1+20+15$
$=36\text{sq.units}$
Hence, the area of the given figure is $36\text{sq.units}$
