Answer 1

The area of the figure is 112 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

To calculate the value of the composite shape we first divide it into shapes that we know.

In this case, the composite shape consists of a rectangle and a parallelogram attached to it.

If we can calculate the individual areas of the two shapes we should be able to calculate the area of the composite shape.

Step 2:

The rectangle has a length of 22 cm and a width of 8.5 cm. The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and its width.

The area of the rectangle$= (length)(width)= (22)(8.5)=187.$

The area of the rectangle is 187 square cm.

Step 3:

The area of a parallelogram is the product of its base length and its height. The given parallelogram has a base length of 22 cm and a height of 7.5 cm.

The area of the parallelogram $= (baselength)(height) = (22)(7.5) = 165.$

The area of the parallelogram is 165 square cm.

Step 4:

Now we calculate the area of the entire figure by adding the areas of the rectangle and the parallelogram.

Area of the figure $= 187 + 165 = 352.$

So the area of the figure is 352 square cm.
