Find the area of the part given in the diagram below
to find the area of the part, we can divide the part into two and find the area of each part as shown below
from the diagram above, we have the rectangle ABEF whose area can be obtained by;
8 X 15 = 120cm2
the second part is a trapezium with parallel sides of 15cm and 10cm while the height is (20-8)= 12cm.
we determine the area of the trapezium as;
0.5[(10+15)] X 12
the area of the trapezium is 150cm2
the total area is therefore 150+120 = 270cm2
The area of the part is 270cm2
