Answer:

The area of this composite figure is 122.75 m².

Explanation:

What I can go on ahead & do is split this figure into a 5 * 16 rectangle and a 9 by 9.5 triangle.

(5 * 16) + 1/2(9 * 9.5) {Multiply 5 by 16 first; go from left to right}

80 + 1/2(9 * 9.5) {Now multiply 9 by 9.5}

80 + 1/2(85.5) {Then multiply 85.5 by 1/2, which is the same thing as dividing by 2}

80 + 42.75 {Lastly, add the two values together}

122.75 m²

The area of this composite figure is 122.75 m².
