Three of these methods give the correct area of the figure. which method does not?

 A: Add the areas of a rectangle and a circle. Then subtract the area of a trapezoid.  is NOT a correct way

Step-by-step explanation:

The given question is INCOMPLETE.

Three of these methods give the correct area of the figure. Which method does NOT?

A: Add the areas of a rectangle and a circle. Then subtract the area of a trapezoid.

B: Add the areas of a rectangle, two triangles, and a circle.

C: Add the areas of a rectangle and two half circles. Then subtract the area of a trapezoid.

D: Add the areas of a trapezoid and two half circles.

Now, here the given figure consists of

(a) Two Semi Circle at both the ends.

(b)One rectangle at the center.

(c) Two trapezium  adjacent to each semi circle.

OR 2 semi circle + 1 trapezoid +  2 triangles.

So, Complete area of the figure can be given as:

1)  Area of 2 semi circle +  Area of the rectangle + Area of 2 trapezium

2) Area of 2 semi circle + Area of the rectangle + Area of 2 triangle

3)Add the areas of a rectangle and two half circles. Then subtract the area of a trapezoid.

Hence,   A: Add the areas of a rectangle and a circle. Then subtract the area of a trapezoid.  is NOT a correct way
