The shapes in the composite figures are a triangle and a trapezoid
The area of the figure is about 24 square units
<h3>The area of the figure</h3>
The dimensions of the figure are given as:
<u>Triangle</u>
- Base = 6 units
- Height = 3 units
<u>Trapezoid</u>
- Shorter base = 4 units
- Longer base = 6 units
- Height = 3 units
The longer base of the trapezoid and the base of the triangle are aligned.
So, the area is:
Area = Area of triangle + Area of trapezoid
This gives
Area = 0.5 * base * height + 0.5 * (sum of bases) * height
So, we have:
Area = 0.5 * 6 * 3 + 0.5 * (4 + 6) * 3
Evaluate
Area = 24
The figure is needed to determine the perimeter
Hence, the area of the figure is about 24 square units
