Question

By splitting the following figures into rectangles, find their areas (The measures are given in centimetres).

Answer 1

Area of rectangle:

Split the given figure in four rectangles as shown in figure.

Area of yellow region $=3\times 3$

$=9c{m}^2$

Area of orange region$=1\times 2$

$=2c{m}^2$

Area of grey region $=3\times 3$

$=9c{m}^2$

Area of brown region $=2\times 4$

$=8c{m}^2$

Total area $=9+2+9+8$

$=28c{m}^2$

∴ Total area is $28c{m}^2$.

Hence,total area of figure is $28c{m}^2$
