Answer:

Total Area = 110 m²

Explanation:

To find the area of this composite shape, extend the top horizontal line to the right. That divides the figure into a right triangle (above the extended line) and a rectangle (below the extended line).

Shape 1

Name: triangle

Formula: A = 1/2bh

Values: b = 15 m -5 m = 10 m; h = 4 m

Area = 1/2(10 m)(4 m) = 20 m²

__

Shape 2

Name: rectangle

Formula: A = bh

Values: b = 15 m; h = 6 m

Area = (15 m)(6 m) = 90 m²

__

Total area = Shape 1 area + Shape 2 area

Total area = (20 m²) +(90 m²) = 110 m²
