Respuesta :
Area of the horizontal rectangle.
A = L *W
L = 8cm
W = 3 cm
Area = 8 * 3 = 24 cm^2
Area of the Vertical Rectangle
The vertical rectangle has the same dimensions
L = 8 cm
W = 3 cm
Area = L * W
Area = 8 * 3
Area = 24 cm^2
Combined Area
Area = 24 + 24
Area = 48 cm^2 <<< Answer
Hey there!!
In order to solve for the area, let's divide this figure into two rectangles.
Area of a rectangle = Length × Breadth
First rectangle at the top - Length = 8 and width = 3
Hence, the area would be = 24cm²
The second triangle measures : Length = 3 and the width = 5
Area = 3 × 5
... 15cm²
Total area = 24cm² + 15cm²
... 24 + 15 cm²
... 39cm²
Hope my answer helps!!
