Question

What is the area of this composite shape?
Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

Explanation:

answer: 51in squared

Separate the rectangle from the triangle.

Rectangle area: 7*6=42

Triangle area: 6*3=18

Then divide the triangle's area and add it to the area of the rectangle.

42+18/2=51in squared

Answer 2

The answer to your question is: 53 in²

Explanation:

Area = ?

Process: divide the shape in one rectangle and one triangle.

Area of rectangle

A = base x height

A = 8 x 6

A = 48 in²

Area of rectangle

base = 13 - 8

= 5 in

height = 6 - 4

= 2 in

Area = (b x h) / 2

= (5 x 2) / 2

= 10 / 2

= 5 in²

Total area = 48 + 5 = 53 in²
