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)
$=5+4$
$=9 cm^2$
