What is an L-Shaped Area?

An L-shaped area refers to a space or region that is shaped like the letter "L". It is typically used in the context of geometry, architecture, or design. To calculate the area of an L-shape, it is usually divided into two rectangles and the areas of these rectangles are calculated separately and then added together.

Example Calculation

Example 1:

Calculation:

\[ A = (5 \cdot 3) + (4 \cdot 2) = 15 + 8 = 23 \text{ square units} \]

Example 2:

Calculation:

\[ A = (6 \cdot 4) + (3 \cdot 2) = 24 + 6 = 30 \text{ square units} \]
