Find the area of the figure at right in at least two different ways. Explain how you get your
answer with diagrams and remember to label them with the correct units.
So the image is a 10cm by 15cm and smaller box attach to the side. Like an London shape .
I think I should just find area from big box and subtracting the small box?
Yes, you are correct! To find the area of the figure at right, you can find the area of the large box and then subtract the area of the smaller box.
First, let's calculate the area of the large box. The dimensions of the large box are given as 10 cm by 15 cm. To find the area, you simply multiply the length and width of the shape:
Area of the large box = Length × Width = 10 cm × 15 cm
Now, we need to calculate the area of the smaller box. However, you mentioned that the smaller box is attached to the side and has a shape similar to the London symbol. Without more specific information about the dimensions or shape of the smaller box, it is not possible to calculate its area accurately.
If you have the dimensions of the smaller box, you can simply apply the same process by multiplying its length and width:
Area of the smaller box = Length × Width (of the smaller box)
Finally, to find the area of the figure, you can subtract the area of the smaller box from the area of the large box:
Area of the figure = Area of the large box - Area of the smaller box
Make sure to label your diagrams with the correct units (in this case, centimeters) to indicate that you are working with lengths and areas.
