Answer:
A. 39 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
area of top rectangle:
6 cm x 4 cm = 24 cm^2
area of bottom rectangle:
5 cm x 3 cm = 15 cm^2
add
24 cm^2 + 15 cm^2 = 39 cm^2
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
You can cut the figure into two separate rectangles. Leaving you with one with sides of 3cm and 5cm. To figure out the area you have to use the formula: A=LW. If you plug the formula in you get A=5*3. Which is 15cm^2 for the first rectangle.
The second rectangle has sides of 6cm and 4cm. Using the formula I used before, A=LW. The equation would be, 6*4=A. So, the area of the second rectangle is 24cm^2.
to find the area of the entire figure you have to combine the two rectangles. 15+24=39. Therefore, your final answer would be 39cm^2.
