Question

Find the area of the figure.
(Sides meet at right angles.)

Answer 1

19 yd²

Explanation:

One way to find the solution is

Area of big rectangle =5* (3+2) =5*5 =25

Area of top small square = 2*2=4

Area of bottom small rectangle = 2*1 =2

Now put it all together:

Area of the figure = Area of big rectangle-Area of top small square-Area of bottom small rectangle= 25 -4 -2 = 21 -2 = 19 yd²

Answer 2

the answer is 19yds squared
