Question

Find the area of the composite figure

Answer 1

Answer:

162 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Split this shape into two rectangles:

The big rectangle has a base of 16 and a height of 7 (subtract 12-5=7 for height) Multiply base*height to get area of big rectangle:

16*7 = 112 in

The small rectangle has a base of 10 and a height of 5. Mulitply base*height to get area of small rectangle:

10*5 = 50 in

Add both areas together:

112+50= 162 inches
