Question

What is the area of the composite shape?

Answer 1

290
`mi^(2)`

Explanation:

You can divide this shape in a variety of ways, but I am going to divide it into a rectangle and a square. First, to find the area of the square, multiple 6 by 5, and get 30
`mi^(2)`. Next, to find the area of the big rectangle, multiply 20 by 13 and get 260
`mi^(2)`. Finally, add 30 and 260 and get a final answer of 290
`mi^(2)`.
