Question

find the area of the figure. (sides meet at right angles.)

Explanation:

Step1: Find base rectangle length

$3 + 4 + 3 = 10$ m

Step2: Calculate base rectangle area

$\text{Area}_1 = 10 \times 3 = 30$ $\text{m}^2$

Step3: Calculate top rectangle area

$\text{Area}_2 = 4 \times 5 = 20$ $\text{m}^2$

Step4: Sum the two areas

$\text{Total Area} = 30 + 20$

Answer:

$50$ $\text{m}^2$
