Question

which expression represents the area of this figure in square feet? (3×2)+(3×4) (6×2)+(3×4) (6×4)+(6×2) (3×2)+(4×6)

Explanation:

Step1: Divide the figure

The figure can be divided into two rectangles.

Step2: Calculate area of first rectangle

The first rectangle has length 3 ft and width 2 ft. Its area $A_1 = 3\times2$ (using area formula $A = l\times w$).

Step3: Calculate area of second rectangle

The second rectangle has length 3 ft and width 4 ft. Its area $A_2=3\times4$.

Step4: Find total area

The total area of the figure is $A = A_1+A_2=(3\times2)+(3\times4)$.

Answer:

$(3\times2)+(3\times4)$
