Question

Find the area of this composite figure: *find the area of each figure, then add those areas together

Answer 1

136 units

Explanation:

All sides are equal in a rectangle:

Value of b : 16-8 = 8 units

h = 13-7 = 6 units.

So Area of triangle= bh/2 = 8*6/2 = 24 units

Area of rectangle = lb = 16*7 = 112 units

So Area of figure= 112+24 units = 136 units
