Find the area of the shape below:
20cm
2cm
18cm
20cm
2cm
Answer (2)
To find the area of a given shape when its sides are specified, we first need to determine the shape type and then use the appropriate area formula.
In this case, the dimensions provided (20 cm, 2 cm, 18 cm) suggest a composite shape, possibly a rectangle or a combination of rectangles, since dimensions like these could describe separate rectangles placed together.
Let's assume the shape is a simple rectangle with a length and a width. To calculate the area of a rectangle, use the formula:
Area = length × width
However, with the provided dimensions, we need to infer how these measurements relate to the shape.
For example, if it is a rectangle with dimensions of 20 cm for the length and 2 cm for the width, the area would be:
Area = 20 cm × 2 cm = 40 cm 2
If there are multiple rectangles or if there is a more complex shape formed by these dimensions, more information would be needed about how these measurements fit together to find the total area.
In summary, with the given dimensions, assuming a simple rectangle, the area is 40 cm². For other interpretations, more details are required about how to compile the dimensions into a single shape.
The area of the shape can vary based on which dimensions are used as length and width. For a rectangle with dimensions 20 cm and 2 cm, the area is 40 cm². If using 20 cm and 18 cm, the area is 360 cm².
