Question

(the numbers are 7m and 2m)
Find the shaded area of the composite figure

Answer 1

Ok this is easy.

See those 1 dashes on some sides? That’s telling you that the sides are congruent. There’s an equal amount of dashes on both sides, so it’s safe to say that problem b is a rectangle. One side is 2m. There’s a dash there, so any other sides with dashes equal 2m. That side in total is 6m.

7 x 6 = 42. So the rectangle, if they didn’t lack squares, equals 42m. But it’s not enough.

We need to know the shaded area. So find the area of the blank squares (should be 4 for 1 and 8 for 2).

42 - 8 = 34

So the shaded area equals 34m^2. I suck at explaining this, I’m sorry

Answer 2

A composite figure is made up of simple geometric shapes. To find the area of a composite figure or other irregular-shaped figure,divide it into simple, nonoverlapping figures. Find the area of each simplerfigure, and then add the areas together to find the total area of the compositefigure
