Question
Split the following shape into rectangles and find the area. (The measures are given in centimeter.)
✓
Answer
This figure consists of two squares I and III and one rectangle II.
Area of square $I=$ Area of square III $=($ Side $\times$ Side $)$
$=7 \times 7$
$=49 cm^2$
Similarly, area of rectangle II $=$ (Length $\times$ Breadth $)$
$=(21 \times 7)$
$=147 cm^2$
Thus, total areas of this figure $=$ (Area of square I + Area of rectangle II + Area of square III)
$=49+49+147$
$=245 cm^2$
Area of square $I=$ Area of square III $=($ Side $\times$ Side $)$
$=7 \times 7$
$=49 cm^2$
Similarly, area of rectangle II $=$ (Length $\times$ Breadth $)$
$=(21 \times 7)$
$=147 cm^2$
Thus, total areas of this figure $=$ (Area of square I + Area of rectangle II + Area of square III)
$=49+49+147$
$=245 cm^2$
