Question

What is the area of the composite figure? Assume angles that appear perpendicular are perpendicular and lines appearing parallel are parallel.

Answer 1

Area = 130.5 square units

Explanation:

Split the figures into 3 shapes (triangle, rectangle and triangle)

Area of triangle on the left: A = 1/2(3)(3) = 4.5

Area of triangle on the right: A = 1/2(6)(6) = 9

Area of the rectangle: A = (13)(9) = 117

Area of the figures = 117 + 9 + 4.5 = 130.5 square units
