Question
Split the following shape into rectangles and find the area. (The measures are given in centimeter) 
✓
Answer
This figure consists of two rectangles $I$ and $II.$
Area of rectangle $I = ($Length $\times $ Breadth$)$
$= 5 \times 1$
$= 5\ cm^2$
Similarly, area of rectangle $II = ($Length $\times $ Breadth$)$
$= 4 \times 1$
$= 4\ cm^2$
Thus, total area of this figure $= ($Area of rectangle $I +$ Area of rectangle $II)$
$= 5 + 4$
$= 9\ cm^2$
Area of rectangle $I = ($Length $\times $ Breadth$)$
$= 5 \times 1$
$= 5\ cm^2$
Similarly, area of rectangle $II = ($Length $\times $ Breadth$)$
$= 4 \times 1$
$= 4\ cm^2$
Thus, total area of this figure $= ($Area of rectangle $I +$ Area of rectangle $II)$
$= 5 + 4$
$= 9\ cm^2$
