Question 1.

By splitting the following figures into rectangles, find their areas (all measures are given in metres): Class 6

Solution:

Area of first figure

= (3 × 3 + 7 × 1 + 5 × 2 + 2 × 1) sq. m

= (9 + 7 + 10 + 2) sq. m

= 28 sq. m

Area of second figure

= (3 × 1 + 3 × 1 + 3 × 1) sq. m

= 9 sq. m
