Answer:

D. 62 square feet

Explanation:

uz + wx + (v+z)(y-u-w)

6*3 + 4*6 + (7+3)(12-6-4)

The total Area of the composite shape is: 74 square feet

How to find the area of the composite shape?

The formula for the area of a rectangle is:

A = LW

Where:

A is Area

L is Length

W is Width

Thus, if we divide the composite shape into smaller rectangles, we have:

Area 1 = 6 * 6 = 36 square feet

Area 2 = 10 * 2 = 20 square feet

Area 3 = 6 * 3 = 18 square feet

Total Area = 36 + 20 + 18

Total Area = 74 square feet
