Short Answer

Expert verified

Area of the figure (A)=492sq.units

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information.

Consecutive sides of the figure is perpendicular.

02

Step 2. Concept  Used.

Where, b is the base of the triangles ,i is the height of the triangles and H is the Hypotenuse of the triangles.

ABCis-(450+450+900)

Thus,Cos450=bH12=bHb=H2

The triangle is an isosceles triangle.

Thus

Side opposite to the equal angles are equal.

Therefore,(l)=(b)=72

03

Step 3. Let’s calculate the area of the figure. 

Now, area of the figure

A=(l×b)=(72)×(72)=492sq.units

Therefore, the area of the figure (A)=492sq.units
