Question

A figure is shown with the given dimensions. What is the area of the composite figure?

Answer 1

24

Explanation:

Split the shape into 2 so you get a triangle and a rectangle.

Find area of triangle:

1/2 x a x b = 1/2 x 3 x 4

= 6 square feet

Find area of rectangle:

b x h = 6 x 3

= 18

Add both together

18 + 6 = 24
