From figure,

Find the area enclosed by the figure. Mensuration, ML Aggarwal Understanding Mathematics Solutions ICSE Class 9.

BJ = 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 8 cm.

Area of rectangle ABJK = l × b

= AB × BJ = 2 × 8

= 16 cm2.

From figure,

JH = KH - KI = 6 - 2 = 4 cm.

Area of trapezium FGHI = 12×\dfrac{1}{2} \times (sum of parallel sides) × distance between them

= 12\dfrac{1}{2} × (FI + GH) × JH

= 12\dfrac{1}{2} × (2 + 2) × 4

= 12\dfrac{1}{2} × 4 × 4 = 8 cm2.

Area of trapezium CDEF = 12×\dfrac{1}{2} \times (sum of parallel sides) × distance between them

= 12\dfrac{1}{2} × (CF + DE) × BD

= 12\dfrac{1}{2} × (2 + 2) × 4

= 12\dfrac{1}{2} × 4 × 4 = 8 cm2.

Total area enclosed = Area of rectangle ABJK + Area of trapezium FGHI + Area of trapezium CDEF

= 16 + 8 + 8

= 32 cm2.

Hence, area enclosed by figure = 32 cm2.
