Find the area of the following figure.

The correct answer is: 13 sq. in

Let's divide the figure into two different shapes.
Suppose the left side is a square P and right side is a square Q.
At first we will calculate the area of recatngle P.
Length = 3 in
Breadth = 3 in
Area of a square = 3 × 3 = 9 sq. in
now we will calculate the area of square Q.
Length = 5 - 3 = 2 in
Breadth = 3 - 1 = 2 in
Area of a square = 2 × 2 = 4 sq. in
Total area of a figure is the sum of the areas of square P and square Q.
Total area of a figure = area of square P+ area of square Q
Total area = 9 + 4 = 13 sq. in
So the total area of figure is 13 sq. in.
