Richard makes a number seven by cutting out a rectangle and a parallelogram find the area of the number seven on the number seven at the bottom we have 4 cm on the left side we have 9 cm also on the left side we have 3 cm and on the top of the number seven we have 7 cm what is the total area of the number seven
To find the area of the number seven, we need to calculate the area of the rectangle and the parallelogram separately and then add them together.
Area of the rectangle:
Length = 4 cm
Width = 9 cm
Area = Length x Width
Area = 4 cm x 9 cm
Area = 36 square cm
Area of the parallelogram:
Base = 3 cm
Height = 7 cm
Area = Base x Height
Area = 3 cm x 7 cm
Area = 21 square cm
Total area of the number seven:
Total area = Area of rectangle + Area of parallelogram
Total area = 36 square cm + 21 square cm
Total area = 57 square cm
Therefore, the total area of the number seven is 57 square cm.
