Question

1. the formula to find the area a of a rectangle is a = lw, where l is the length of the rectangle and w is the width of the rectangle. the figure below can be divided into two rectangles. find the total area of the figure. 3 in. 2 in. 7 in. 4 in. 2 in. 10 in.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate first rectangle area

$A_1 = 3\times4=12$ in²

Step2: Calculate second rectangle area

$A_2 = 7\times2 = 14$ in²

Step3: Calculate total area

$A = A_1+A_2=12 + 14=26$ in²

Answer:

26 in²
