By decomposing the figure into simpler shapes, we will see that the area is 26 square centimeters.
How to find the shaded area?
Remember that for a rectangle of length L and width W, the area is:
A = L*W
Now, let's look at the figure, we want to find the area of the front face. We can decompose the front face into simpler figures.
These are (reading from left to right).
- Rectangle of 2cm by 4cm
- Rectangle of 3cm by 2cm
- Rectangle of 3cm by 4cm.
So the total area of the front face is equal to the sum of the areas of the 3 rectangles, then the total area is:
A = (2cm*4cm) + (3cm*2cm) + (3cm*4cm) = 26 cm²
