Question

The composite figure is made up of a parallelogram and a rectangle. Find the area.

Answer 1

Answer: A. 76 sq. units

Step-by-step explanation:

1. You can use the following formula for calcualte the area of the parallelogram:

$A_p=b_p*h_p$

Where $b_p$ is the base and  $h_p$ is the height of the parallelogram

$b_p=14units-3units-3units=8units$ and $h_p=6units$

2. The formula for calculate the area of a rectangle is:

$A_r=b_r*h_r$

Where  $b_r$ is the base and  $h_r$ is the height of the rectanngle.

$b_r=14units$  and $h_r=2units$  

3. Then, the area of the figure is the sum of the area of the parallelogram and the area of the rectangle:

$A_f=(8units*6units)+(14units*2units)=76units^{2}$
