Answer:
258 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
In the picture we see 2 shapes. We can split the shapes into 2 different shapes to find the area.
When we split it in half horizontally, we have 1 rectangle with length 24 inches and width 6 inches. We also have a 2nd rectangle with length 19 inches and width 6 inches.
Now that we have the measurements, all we need to do is find the area of the 2 rectangles and add the areas together to find the total area of the shape.
- Rectangle 1
- A = l x w
- A = 24 in x 6 in
- A = 144 in²
- Rectangle 2
- A = l x w
- A = 19 in x 6 in
- A = 114 in²
- Total Area (Rectangle 1 area + Rectangle 2 area)
- Total Area = 144 in² + 114 in²
- 258 in²
