Area of L Shapes: Example Problem Pairs
An example problem pair for calculating the area of L-Shapes.
Planning for the worked example:
The first example focuses on finding shorter lengths (subtraction), the second example focuses on finding the longest lengths (addition).
Calculate the size of the missing lengths.
Decide how to split the L Shape into rectangles.
Identify which lengths are required to calculate the areas.
Calculate the sum of the areas.
