The area of the shape below is 105 cm².
What is the area of a Rectangle?
The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length and width of the rectangle.
What is the area of a Triangle?
The area of a triangle is equal to half of the product of the triangle's base and height.
How to solve the problem?
Cut the shape given into a triangle and a rectangle as given in the following figure. Then the area of the shape is the sum of the area of the triangle and the area of the rectangle. In the shape, we can clearly specify that the base of the triangle is (15-9) cm=6cm and the height is
(11-6)cm=5cm.
Thus,
The area of the rectangle in the figure is (6×15) cm²=90 cm², and
the area of the triangle in the figure is (1/2)(6×5) cm²=15 cm².
Hence, the area of the shape is 90+15 cm² = 105 cm².
