How do you find the area of this composite figure?
1 answer:
Split the shape into smaller shapes, (see attachment)
find the area of the split shapes. So first find the area of the triangles
A = 1/2bh
A = 1/2*2*3
A = 1/2*6
A = 3
so that is the area of one triangle. the area of the other is
A = 1/2*4*3
A = 1/2 * 12
A = 6
now find the area of the rectangle
A = l*w
A = 9*3
A = 27
add them all together
27 + 6+ 3 = 36
the area of the total figure is 36

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The pressure exerted by an object is given by:
where
F is the magnitude of the force
A is the area of the surface perpendicular to the force
In this problem, the force is the weight of the books + the shelf, which is given by
where
m = 262 kg is the total mass
is the acceleration of gravity
Substituting,
The area of the four legs is:
Therefore, the pressure exerted on them is:
