Answer 1

`96\: cm^2`

Explanation:

• Given composite figure is a trapezoid.

• Where,
  `b_1= 14\: cm,\: b_2= 10\: cm, \:\&\: h = 8\: cm`

• Formula for area of trapezoid is given as:

• 
  `A(trapezoid) =(1)/(2)(b_1+b_2)(h)`

• 
  `\implies A(trapezoid) =(1)/(2)(14+10)(8)`

• 
  `\implies A(trapezoid) =(1)/(2)(24)(8)`

• 
  `\implies A(composite\: figure) =96\: cm^2`
