Answer:
1). Area = 37 cm²
2). Area = 120 cm²
Explanation:
Figures in the picture attached are the examples of composite figures.
1). Area of the composite figure = Area of rectangle A + Area of rectangle B
Since area of rectangle = Length × width
Area of rectangle A = 8 × 2 = 16 cm²
Area of rectangle B = 3 × 7 = 21 cm²
Area of the composite figure = 16 + 21 = 37 cm²
2). Area of the composite figure = Area of C + Area of D
= (3×4) + (9×12)
= 12 + 108
= 120 cm²
