Question

Find the area of the composite figure.

602 square centimeters
374 square centimeters
488 square centimeters
469 square centimeters

Answer 1

C,488 is the answer

Answer 2

Option C, 488 square centimeters

Explanation:

Step 1: Determine the area of the rectangle

`A = l * w`

`A = 22\ cm * 17\ cm`

`A = 374\ cm^2`

Step 2: Determine the area of the triangle

`A=(h*b)/(2)`

`A=(19\ cm * (22\ cm-10\ cm))/(2)`

`A=(19\ cm * (12\ cm))/(2)`

`A=(228\ cm^2)/(2)`

`A=114\ cm^2`

Step 3: Determine the total area

`A_(total) = 374\ cm^2 + 114\ cm^2`

`A_(total) =488\ cm^2`

Answer: Option C, 488 square centimeters
