Calculating Total Area of an Irregular Figure
Absolutely, let's break the irregular figure into two rectangular areas (A and B) to find the total area.
For rectangle A:
- The length is 6 meters.
- The width is 18 meters.
The area of rectangle A (A_A) is length times width:
A_A = 6m * 18m = 108m².
For rectangle B, we see it's a square because all sides are equal:
- The side length is 18 meters.
The area of rectangle B (A_B) is side length squared:
A_B = 18m * 18m = 324m².
To find the total area (A_total) of the irregular figure, we add the areas of both rectangles:
A_total = A_A + A_B
A_total = 108m² + 324m²
A_total = 432m².
Therefore, the area of the irregular figure is 432 square meters.
