Given:
The composite figure have side measures as 12 cm, 6 cm , 10 cm and 5 cm.
Required:
Find the area of the composite figure.
Explanation:
We will divide this figure in two rectangles as
Now area of composite figure is
[tex]\text{ Area = Area of first figure }+\text{ Area of second figure}[/tex]
Now, dimensions of first rectangle is 12 cm and 6cm
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=length\times breadth \\ A=12\times6 \\ A=72cm^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Dimensions of second rectangle is 10 cm and 5 cm
[tex]\begin{gathered} A=10\times5 \\ A=50cm^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Total area of figure
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ Area= area of first figure }+\text{area of second figure} \\ Area=72+50 \\ Area=122cm^2 \end{gathered}[/tex]
Answer:
Hence, answer is 122 cm square.
