Answer:
488 cm² (Option B)
Step-by-step explanation:
The figure consists of a rectangle & a right angled triangle. So,
Area of the complex figure = Area of rectangle + Area of the triangle
1) Length of the rectangle = 22 cm
Width of the rectangle = 17 cm
Area of rectangle = 22 × 17 = 374 cm²
2) Length of perpendicular of the triangle = 22 - 10 = 12 cm
Length of base of triangle = 19 cm
Area of a triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times 19 = 114 cm^2[/tex]
∴ AREA OF THE FIGURE = 378 + 114 = 488 cm²
