Anyone know how to find area of shape?

[doyouknowhim]

I thought it would be 1.3 x 1.95 but it appears this isn't correct!

Thanks so much if you know

Make it i to 2 shape add the total together....simples.

1.3x1 for square plus 0.95x0.5 for rectangle and add them together.

Obvs not an actual square, but you get what I mean!

Divide into 2 shapes and get area of both then add together.

1.775 is what I got

sorry I edited I’m tired !

Visually divide it into 2 tidy rectangles, the smaller one is 0.95 x 0.5

You have to do some subtraction to figure out the area of larger rectangle, it turns out to be 1 x 1.3

Figure out the area of each separate rectangle
1 x 1.3 = 1.3 units squared big one
0.95 x 0.5 = 0.425 units squared little one
1.3 + 0.425 is your answer

I agree

1.3 x 1.95 would give you the area of a rectangle - but this one has a chunk out of it so as others say you've got to split it into 2 shapes.

Another way to work it out is to find the area that the rectangle would be if it wasn't missing a chunk, then subtract the area of the chunk that's missing.

So
(1.3x1.95) - (0.95x0.8) = 1.775

It's 1.775
I did 0.5 x 1.95
Then 0.8 x 1
Then add together.

Split it into two rectangles and add together.

Or work out the total of the large rectangle as you started with and deduct the area of the rectangle chunk missing

0.95 x 0.5 = 0.475

and

1 x 1.3 = 1.3

Add then together = 1.775

1.775

I worked it out by calculating the area of the complete shape, minus the bit that's missing.

So (1.3 x 1.95) - (0.8 x 0.95) = 1.775
