Question

Find the area of this figure.
A = in2

Answer 1

Simply multiply your measurements for length and width to determine the area of your square or rectangular area in square inches.[3]
For example, let's say that, for a rectangular area, you measure a length of 4 inches and a width of 3 inches. In this case, the area within your rectangle is 4 × 3 = 12 square inches.

Answer 2

In this case, the area of the composite figure is 56 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the composite figure, we need to calculate the area of each individual shape and then add them together.

The given figure consists of a square with a side length of 4 inches and a rectangle with a length of 10 inches and a width of 4 inches.

1. To find the area of the square, we can use the formula: Area = side^2.

Substituting the given side length of 4 inches, we get:

Area of the square = 4² = 16 square inches.

2. To find the area of the rectangle, we can use the formula: Area = length x width.

Substituting the given length of 10 inches and width of 4 inches, we get:

Area of the rectangle = 10 x 4 = 40 square inches.

Now, to find the total area of the composite figure, we add the areas of the square and the rectangle together:

• Total Area = Area of the square + Area of the rectangle
• = 16 square inches + 40 square inches
• = 56 square inches.

Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 56 square inches.

A = 56 in²
