Question

Find the composite area

Answer 1

Area of the composite figure = 42 in²

Explanation:

Composite area of the given figure = Area of the rectangle + Area of the right triangle

Area of the rectangle = Length × Width

= 6 × 5

= 30 in²

Area of the right triangle =
`(1)/(2)(\text{Base})(\text{Height})`

=
`(1)/(2)(4)(6)`

= 12 in²

Area of the composite figure = 30 + 12

= 42 in²
