Answer:
Area of the figure = 254.5 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of rectangle = Length × Width
Area of triangle = 1/2(base × Height)
Dividing the figure into parts for convenience
So,
Rectangle 1 (the uppermost):
4 × 6 = 24 cm²
Rectangle 2 (below rectangle 1):
15 × 8 = 120 cm²
Rectangle 3 (with rectangle 2):
11 × 4 = 44 cm²
Triangle 1 :
1/2(7 × 19) = 133/2 = 66.5 cm²
Now adding up all to get the area of the figure:
Area of the figure = 24 + 120 + 44 + 66.5
Area of the figure = 254.5 cm²
