Question

victor’s storage space is shown in the image below. what is the area of victor’s storage space? 4 in 3 in 5 in 12 in the area of victor’s storage space is square in.

Explanation:

Step1: Split shape into rectangle and trapezoid

Top part: rectangle (4in×3in); bottom part: trapezoid (bases 4in,12in; height 5-3=2in)

Step2: Calculate rectangle area

Area_rectangle = 4×3 = 12 sq.in

Step3: Calculate trapezoid area

Area_trapezoid = $\frac{(4+12)×2}{2}$ = 16 sq.in

Step4: Sum both areas

Total area = 12 + 16 = 28 sq.in

Answer:

28
