Question

11 POINTS! GEOMETRY!! Find the area of the composite function and explain how you broke the shape into pieces to find the area.

Answer 1

Answer:

370 mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of this figure can be calculated by taking the whole figure as a full rectangle, and consider the part that is cut out from the middle of the shape as another rectangle.

Find the area of the cut-out part and subtract from the area of the full rectangular shape to get the area of the composite figure.

=>Area of full rectangular shape:

Length = 30 mm

Width = 15 mm

Area = L * B = 30*15 = 450 mm²

=>Area of the cut-out Rectangle part:

Length = 10 mm

Width = 8 mm

Area = 10*8 = 80 mm²

=>Area of composite figure = 450 mm² - 80 mm² = 370 mm²
