So, I get two rectangles here : ABCE and CDFG . Right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yes
mathslover (mathslover):
So, can you tell me the formula for the area of a rectangle?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
A = w*h
mathslover (mathslover):
right!
So, let us find first of all the area of rectangle CDFG.
Can you find the area of it?

ok Hold On :D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it would be 8*3 right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 24
mathslover (mathslover):
Yeah, awesome, right!
mathslover (mathslover):
so, what will be the area?

What you have to do is make this as a rectangle without any irregular surfaces. So to make the side where the number 8 is, we will bring down the 9 because it can bring it down to the length of 17 (8+9=17).
For the side in which the 6 is we will have to add 3 to 6 because it is going vertical and will make the width of the rectangle. So if we add 6+3=9. Now we multiply 17*9=153. So the area will be 153 because the area=length*width.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
it will be 153m^2 right

Cut your diagram up into small rectangles and use the formula
|dw:1379381888412:dw|
B*H = A
where,
B = length of the base
H = length of Height
Then once you figure out the area of all three rectangles add them up and you have your answer
