Question

What is the area of the figure?

Answer 1

Answer: 190 inches²

Explanation:

Area of rectangle = L x W

= 15 x 8

= 120 inches

Area of smaller rectangle = L x W

= 5 x (22 - 8 = 14)

= 70 inches

Therefore, 120 inches + 70 inches = 190 inches²

Answer 2

190 inches squared

Explanation:

You have to split the shape into two different rectangles. Then multiply 22 x 5 to get the area of the right rectangle. The area of this is 110 inches squared. Then you find the area of the other rectangle by solving (15-5) x 8. You get 80. Then add 80 + 110 to get 190.
