Question

Find the area of the composite figure. (View picture)

Answer 1

Answer:

$96\: cm^2$

Step-by-step 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:

• $A(trapezoid) =\frac{1}{2}(b_1+b_2)(h)$

• $\implies A(trapezoid) =\frac{1}{2}(14+10)(8)$

• $\implies A(trapezoid) =\frac{1}{2}(24)(8)$

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