Unequal Angle Section

Unequal Angle Section: a composite plane figure made of a rectangle 5.4 × 7.8 cm, minus a rectangle 7.6 × 12.4 cm. It is a classic high school (grades 9–10) geometry problem (“Structural Sections”). The net area is 18.56 cm² and the total perimeter is 26.4 cm.

Area of each basic shape before the Boolean composition.

How to find the area

Area formula: A = (B + H − s)·s

The parts overlap or intersect, so the net area (18.56 cm²) comes from the exact Boolean operation rather than from a plain sum of the part areas.
