Can someone please help me in this question

a. 26 cm²

b. 55 cm²

c. 78 cm²

d. 89.27 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The shape can be decomposed into two rectangles

Area of the larger rectangle = L*W

L = 7 cm

W = 2 cm

Area of the larger rectangle = 7*2 = 14 cm²

Area of the smaller rectangle = L*W

L = 4 cm

W = 5 - 2 = 3 cm

Area of the larger rectangle = 4*3 = 12 cm²

Area of the compound shape = 14 + 12 = 26 cm²

b. The shape can be decomposed into a rectangle and a triangle.

Area of the compound shape = area of rectangle + area of triangle

= L*W + ½*b*h

L = 8 cm

W = 5 cm

b = 5 cm

h = 14 - 8 = 6 cm

Plug in the values

Area = 8*5 + ½*5*6

Area = 40 + 15

= 55 cm²

c. The shape can be decomposed into a rectangle and a trapezoid

Area of the compound shape = area of the rectangle + area of the trapezoid

= L*W + ½(a + b)h

L = 12 cm

W = 3 cm

a = 12 cm

b = 9 cm

h = 4 cm

Plug in the values

Area = 12*3 + ½(12 + 9)4

Area = 36 + 42

Area = 78 cm²

d. The shape can be decomposed into a rectangle and a semicircle

Area of the compound shape = area of the rectangle + area of the semicircle

= L*W + ½(πr²)

L = 10 cm

W = 5 cm

r = ½(10) = 5 cm

Plug in the values

Area = 10*5 + ½(π*5²)

Area = 50 + 39.27

Area = 89.27 cm²
