Question

find the area of the figure. (sides meet at right angles.) 3 m 3 m 3 m 3 m 7 m 5 m 7 m 11 m

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate area of large rectangle

The large rectangle has length \( 11 \, \text{m} \) and height \( 7 \, \text{m} \). Area formula: \( A = l \times h \). So, \( 11 \times 7 = 77 \, \text{m}^2 \).

Step2: Calculate area of the indent

The indent is a rectangle with length \( 5 \, \text{m} \) and height \( 3 \, \text{m} \). Area: \( 5 \times 3 = 15 \, \text{m}^2 \).

Step3: Subtract indent area from large rectangle

Total area = Large area - Indent area: \( 77 - 15 = 62 \, \text{m}^2 \).

Answer:

\( 62 \, \text{square meters} \)
