Question

Find the area of the house drawing given in the figure

Answer 1

Area of the house = Area of a square of side 6 cm + Area of a rectangle with l = 8 cm, b = 6 cm + Area of a ∆ with b = 6 cm and h = 4 cm + Area of a parallelogram with b  = 8 cm, h = 4 cm

= `("side" xx "side") + ("l" xx "b") + (1/2 xx "b" xx "h") + "bh"  "cm"^2`

= `(6 xx 6) + (8 xx 6) + (1/2 xx 6 xx 4) + (8 xx 4)  "cm"^2`

= 36 + 48 + 12 + 32 cm²

= 128 cm²

Required Area = 128 cm²
