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