5000cm25000 cm^{2}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Identify the dimensions of the L-shaped figure.

    The left vertical side is 80 cm high and 40 cm wide.
    The upper right vertical side is 50 cm high.
    Thus, the bottom arm height is 80−50=3080 - 50 = 30 cm.
    The bottom arm extends 60 cm to the right.

    80 cm−50 cm=30 cm80~\textrm{cm} - 50~\textrm{cm} = 30~\textrm{cm}
  2. Calculate the area using a large rectangle minus the missing rectangle.

    Large rectangle: width =40 cm+60 cm=100 cm= 40~\textrm{cm} + 60~\textrm{cm} = 100~\textrm{cm}, height =80 cm= 80~\textrm{cm}.
    Area of large rectangle:

    100 cm×80 cm=8000 cm2100~\textrm{cm} \times 80~\textrm{cm} = 8000~\textrm{cm}^2

    Missing rectangle (top right): width =60 cm= 60~\textrm{cm}, height =50 cm= 50~\textrm{cm}.
    Area of missing rectangle:

    60 cm×50 cm=3000 cm260~\textrm{cm} \times 50~\textrm{cm} = 3000~\textrm{cm}^2
  3. Subtract to find the area of the L-shape.

    8000 cm2−3000 cm2=5000 cm28000~\textrm{cm}^2 - 3000~\textrm{cm}^2 = 5000~\textrm{cm}^2

    5000 cm^{2}
