◦ 8 cm
◦ Formula:
◦ 4cm Area of Rectangle
◦ A= 8 cm x 4 cm
◦ A=36 cm2

◦ 4cm
◦ Area of Squares
◦ A= s2 or s x s
◦ A= 4 cm x 4 cm
◦ A= 16 cm2

◦ Total Area= A1 + A2
◦ = 32 cm2 + 16 cm2
◦ = 48 cm2

◦ Total area of their garden is 48 square centimeters.

 In finding the area of irregular figures made up of squares and
rectangles:
1. Divide or cut the figure into squares and/or rectangles.
2. Find the area of each square and/ or rectangles made;
3. Add the areas of the square and/or rectangles made to find the area
of the irregular figure; and
4. Express the area in sq. m or sq. cm
