Question

What is the area of this composite figure?

Answer 1

Answer:

209 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

This composite figure consist of two figures.

(1) Rectangle with length = 11 cm and width  = 16 cm.

(2) Triangle on the top of the rectangle with base = 11 cm and height = 6 cm.

Area of the rectangle = length × width

                                   = 11 × 16

                                   = 176 cm²

Area of the triangle = $\frac{1}{2}(base) (height)$

                                =  $\frac{1}{2}(11) (6)$

                                = 33 cm²

Total area = 176 + 33

                 = 209 cm²
