Question

Calcaulate the area of the composite figure below. 110 cm 50 cm 130 cm -110 cm -70 cm 12,550cm? b. 17, 100cm X 16,050cm? 2 11, 500cm d. n Question 11

Answer 1

The composite image given in the question is a combination of a square and a triangle

To get the total area given, we will find the areas of both figures and then find the sum.

The area of the triangle is given by

`\text{Area = }(1)/(2)\text{ x Base X Height}`

Base = 70 cm, Height = 80 cm

The area of a triangle is given by

`A\text{ = }(1)/(2)*70*80=2800cm^2`

The area of the square is given by

`Area=length* breadth=110x130=14300cm^2`

Area of composite figure =

`\begin{gathered} \text{Area of square + Area of triangle} \\ \\ =\text{ 14300 + 2800} \\ \\ =17,100cm^2 \end{gathered}`
