Find the area of the following figures

The figure can be re-drawn as:

Area of first triangle = 1/2 × base × height

⇒ A₁ =

= 6 cm²

Area of second triangle = 1/2 × base × height

⇒ A₂

= 4 cm²

Area of rectangle = length × breadth

⇒ A₃ = 3 × 2

= 6 cm²

Area of square = (side)²

⇒ A₄ = 3 × 3

= 9 cm²

∴ Area of figure = A₁ + A₂ + A₃ + A₄

= 6 + 4 + 6 + 9

= 25 cm²
