Question

If x = 3 inches, y = 11 inches, w = 5 inches, and z = 5 inches, what is the area of the object?
A. 45 square inches
B. 35 square inches
C. 24 square inches
D. 66 square inches

Answer 1

Given:

$\begin{gathered} x=3in \\ y=11in \\ z=5in \\ w=5in \end{gathered}$

Required:

To find the area of the given figure.

Explanation:

Consider the given figure

Now first we have to calculate the area of the first rectangle.

The formula for area of the rectangle is,

$A1=l\times w$

Here

$\begin{gathered} l=11in \\ w=3in \end{gathered}$

Therefore,

$\begin{gathered} A1=11\times3 \\ =33in^2 \end{gathered}$

The area of the second rectangle is,

$A2=l\times w$

Here,

$\begin{gathered} l=6in \\ w=2in \end{gathered}$

Therefore,

$\begin{gathered} A2=6\times2 \\ =12in^2 \end{gathered}$

The total area of the given figure is,

$\begin{gathered} A=A1+A2 \\ =33+12 \\ =45in^2 \end{gathered}$

Final Answer:

The area of the figure is 45 square inches.
