Given:
AB = 9 in, BC = 2 in
DE = 3 in, EF = 3 in
To find:
The area of the shape
Solution:
ABCH is a rectangle.
Area of rectangle = length × width
= AB × BC
= 9 × 2
Area of ABCH = 18 in²
GDEF is a square.
Area of square = side × side
= DE × EF
= 3 × 3
Area of GDEF = 9 in²
Area of the shape = Area of ABCH + Area of GDEF
= 18 in² + 9 in²
= 27 in²
The area of the shape is 27 in².
