Question

liliana makes a number 1 by cutting out a parallelogram. find the area of the number 1. area = \square in.² (with an image of the number 1 shape having dimensions: 5 in., 3 in., 2 in., 11 in.)

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate area of rectangle

The rectangle has length \( 11 \) in and width \( 3 \) in. Area of rectangle is \( length \times width = 11 \times 3 = 33 \) \( \text{in}^2 \).

Step2: Calculate area of parallelogram

The parallelogram has base \( 5 \) in and height \( 2 \) in. Area of parallelogram is \( base \times height = 5 \times 2 = 10 \) \( \text{in}^2 \).

Step3: Sum the areas

Total area of the number 1 is the sum of the area of the rectangle and the parallelogram. So, \( 33 + 10 = 43 \) \( \text{in}^2 \).

Answer:

43
