Question

Find the area of the composite shape

Answer 1

99 square feet

Explanation:

Simply solve for the rectangle using a=lw

12 x 10 = 120

Now subtract the area of the triangle using a=bh/2

7 x 6= 42

42/2= 21

120-21= 99

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

99 square ft

Explanation:

Area of the composite shape

= Area of rectangle - Area of triangle

`= 12 * 10 - (1)/(2) * 6 * 7 \\ \\ = 120 - 21 \\ \\ = 99 \: {ft}^(2)`
