Find the area of the figure below.
Top: 3 m
Side: 3 m
Top: 4 m
Side: 3 m
Top: 3 m
Side: 1.5m
Bottom: 10 m
Left side: 7.5 m
To find the area of this figure, we can break it down into two trapezoids and one rectangle.
Trapezoid 1:
Top = 3 m
Bottom = 10 m
Height = 3 m
Area = (1/2)(Top + Bottom)(Height) = (1/2)(3 + 10)(3) = 19.5 square meters
Trapezoid 2:
Top = 4 m
Bottom = 10 m
Height = 3 m
Area = (1/2)(Top + Bottom)(Height) = (1/2)(4 + 10)(3) = 21 square meters
Rectangle:
Height = 3 m
Width = 7.5 m
Area = Height x Width = 3 x 7.5 = 22.5 square meters
Total area = area of Trapezoid 1 + area of Trapezoid 2 + area of Rectangle
Total area = 19.5 + 21 + 22.5 = 63 square meters
Therefore, the area of the figure is 63 square meters.
