Question

find the area.
area of □ =? in²
area of □ = in²
remember: a□ = s²
area of figure = in²

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the area of the square

The side length of the square is \(4\) inches. Using the formula \(A = s^{2}\), where \(s = 4\).
\(A_{square}=4\times4 = 16\) \(in^{2}\)

Step2: Calculate the area of the rectangle

The width of the rectangle is \(2\) inches and the height is \(7\) inches. Using the formula \(A=l\times w\) (where \(l = 7\) and \(w = 2\)).
\(A_{rectangle}=2\times7=14\) \(in^{2}\)

Step3: Calculate the total area of the figure

Add the area of the square and the area of the rectangle.
\(A_{total}=A_{square}+A_{rectangle}=16 + 14=30\) \(in^{2}\)

Answer:

Area of \(\square\) (square) \(= 16\) \(in^{2}\)
Area of \(\square\) (rectangle) \(= 14\) \(in^{2}\)
Area of Figure \(= 30\) \(in^{2}\)
