Answer 1

34 units got it right on edgeunity

Answer 2

Answer:

area of the compostie figure =  34 squre units

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of this composite figure , first find the area of the trapezoid

then we subtract the area of rectangle (white part of the figure at the bottom)

Area of the trapezoid = (base1+base2)/2  times height

base 1= 10

base 2=6, height = 5

Area of a trapezoid = $\frac{10+6}{2} *5$= 40

Area of the rectangle = length * width

= 3*2= 6

Now area of the compostie figure = 40 - 6= 34 squre units
