What is the area of the figure

Question

The figure is not drawn to scale.
8in 11in 9in 11in 9in 8in
(1 point)
188 in.2
278 in.2
322 in.2
352 in.2

Answer 1

To find the area of the figure, we can split it into two rectangles and a square.

1. Rectangle with dimensions 8in x 11in = 88 in^2
2. Square with side length 9in = 81 in^2
3. Rectangle with dimensions 9in x 8in = 72 in^2

Adding the areas of the three shapes together:
88 + 81 + 72 = 241

Therefore, the area of the figure is 241 in^2.

Answer 2

What is the correct answer

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake in my calculation earlier. Let's correct it:

1. Rectangle with dimensions 8in x 11in = 88 in^2
2. Rectangle with dimensions 9in x 11in = 99 in^2
3. Rectangle with dimensions 9in x 8in = 72 in^2

Adding the areas of the three shapes together:
88 + 99 + 72 = 259

Therefore, the correct area of the figure is 259 in^2.

Answer 4

Are you sure

Answer 5

Let's recalculate the area of the figure:

1. Rectangle with dimensions 8 in x 11 in = 88 in^2
2. Rectangle with dimensions 11 in x 9 in = 99 in^2
3. Rectangle with dimensions 9 in x 8 in = 72 in^2

Adding the areas of the three shapes together:
88 + 99 + 72 = 259

Therefore, the correct area of the figure is 259 in^2.

Answer 6

Pick one of my choices

Answer 7

Sure, based on the calculation, the area of the figure is 259 in^2. Looking at the given choices again, the closest option to 259 in^2 is:

278 in.2

Therefore, the closest option to the correct area of the figure is 278 in^2.
