Question

now, combine the areas to find the total. what is the total area of the shape? area = length x width rectangle 1 112 cm² rectangle 2 49 cm² rectangle 3 64 cm² total area ? cm²

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the areas of each rectangle

We have the areas of three rectangles: Rectangle 1 is \(112 \, \text{cm}^2\), Rectangle 2 is \(49 \, \text{cm}^2\), and Rectangle 3 is \(64 \, \text{cm}^2\).

Step2: Sum the areas

To find the total area, we add the areas of the three rectangles together. The formula for the total area \(A_{\text{total}}\) is:
\[
A_{\text{total}} = A_1 + A_2 + A_3
\]
Substituting the given values:
\[
A_{\text{total}} = 112 + 49 + 64
\]
First, add \(112\) and \(49\): \(112 + 49 = 161\). Then add \(161\) and \(64\): \(161 + 64 = 225\).

Answer:

\(225\)
