Step-by-step solution for: Compound Shapes (A) Worksheet | Cazoom Maths Worksheets
To solve the problem of finding the area and perimeter of the given compound shapes, we will break each shape into simpler rectangles, calculate their areas and perimeters individually, and then combine them as necessary. Let's go through each shape step by step.
---
#### Step 1: Identify the rectangles
- Rectangle (A): Dimensions are \(4 \, \text{cm} \times 3 \, \text{cm}\)
- Rectangle (B): Dimensions are \(8 \, \text{cm} \times 3 \, \text{cm}\)
#### Step 2: Calculate the area of each rectangle
- Area of Rectangle (A):
\[
\text{Area}_A = 4 \, \text{cm} \times 3 \, \text{cm} = 12 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
- Area of Rectangle (B):
\[
\text{Area}_B = 8 \, \text{cm} \times 3 \, \text{cm} = 24 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
#### Step 3: Calculate the total area
\[
\text{Total Area} = \text{Area}_A + \text{Area}_B = 12 \, \text{cm}^2 + 24 \, \text{cm}^2 = 36 \, \text{cm}^2
\]
#### Step 4: Calculate the perimeter
The perimeter is the sum of all outer sides:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 6 \, \text{cm} + 8 \, \text{cm} + 3 \, \text{cm} + 3 \, \text{cm} + 4 \, \text{cm} + 4 \, \text{cm} = 28 \, \text{cm}
\]
#### Final Answers for Shape 1:
\[
\boxed{
\begin{aligned}
&\text{Area of rectangle (A)} = 12 \, \text{cm}^2 \\
&\text{Area of rectangle (B)} = 24 \, \text{cm}^2 \\

\]
#### Step 4: Calculate the perimeter
The perimeter is the sum of all outer sides:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 7 \, \text{cm} + 7 \, \text{cm} + 6 \, \text{cm} + 6 \, \text{cm} + 4 \, \text{cm} + 4 \, \text{cm} + 1 \, \text{cm} + 3 \, \text{cm} = 40 \, \text{cm}
