Question
The following figure have been split into rectangles. Find the area. (The measures are given in centimeter)
✓
Answer
This figure consists of three rectangles I, II and III.
Area of rectangle I $=$ (Length $\times$ Breadth)
$=(3 \times 1)$
$=3 cm^2$
Similarly, area of rectangle II $=$ (Length $\times$ Breadth)
$=(3 \times 1)$
$=3 cm^2$
Area of rectangle III=(Length $\times$ Breadth)
$=(3 \times 1)$
$=3 cm^2$
Thus, the total area of this figure = (Area of rectangle I + area of rectangle II + area of rectangle III)
$=(3+3+3)$
$=9 cm^2$
Area of rectangle I $=$ (Length $\times$ Breadth)
$=(3 \times 1)$
$=3 cm^2$
Similarly, area of rectangle II $=$ (Length $\times$ Breadth)
$=(3 \times 1)$
$=3 cm^2$
Area of rectangle III=(Length $\times$ Breadth)
$=(3 \times 1)$
$=3 cm^2$
Thus, the total area of this figure = (Area of rectangle I + area of rectangle II + area of rectangle III)
$=(3+3+3)$
$=9 cm^2$
