What is the area of the land in square metres? (2 marks)
--- 4 WORK AREA LINES (style=lined) ---
Show Worked Solution
\(\text{Total Area}=\text{Area Rectangle}+\text{Area trapezium}\)
| \(\text{Total Area}\) | \(=lb+\dfrac{h}{2}(a+b)\) |
| \(=(12\times 25)+\dfrac{11}{2}(24+10)\) | |
| \(=300+187\) | |
| \(=487\ \text{m}^2\) |
