Question

A figure is a rectangle with a triangle on one side.

What method can you use to find the area of the composite figure? Check all that apply.
decompose the figure into one rectangle and one triangle, and add the areas
decompose the figure into two trapezoids, and add the areas
find the area of the larger rectangle, then subtract the area of the square
find the area of the larger rectangle, then subtract the area of the two small triangles
find the area of the larger rectangle

Answer 1
