What is the area of the figure in square centimeters?
8 cm width
4 cm length
10 cm width
To find the area of the figure, you need to multiply the width by the length.
Area = width x length
Area = 8 cm x 4 cm
Area = 32 square cm
Since there is another rectangle with a width of 10 cm, we need to add that area to the total area.
Area = 32 square cm (first rectangle) + 10 cm x 4 cm (second rectangle)
Area = 32 square cm + 40 square cm
Area = 72 square cm
Therefore, the area of the entire figure is 72 square centimeters.
