C-Channel Section (UPN)

C-Channel Section (UPN): a composite plane figure made of a rectangle 5.8 × 7.6 cm, minus a rectangle 4.4 × 4.2 cm. It is a classic high school (grades 9–10) geometry problem (“Structural Sections”). The net area is 25.6 cm² and the total perimeter is 35.2 cm.

Area of each basic shape before the Boolean composition.

How to find the area

Area formula: A = B·H − (B−s)·(H−2s)

Split the figure into basic shapes, find each area, add the joined parts and subtract the cut-outs: A = 44.08 − 18.48 = 25.6 cm².
