What is the area of this composite shape?
1 answer:
<h3>Answer: 51 square inches</h3>
=======================================================
Explanation:
There are a few ways to do this. One way is to divide the figure as shown in the diagram below. I divided it into a rectangle and a triangle. Find the area of the rectangle and triangle, then add up those areas to get the final answer.
A = area of rectangle
A = length*width
A = 7*6
A = 42
B = area of triangle
B = 0.5*base*height
B = 0.5*(6-3)*(13-7)
B = 0.5*3*6
B = 1.5*6
B = 9
C = total area
C = A+B
C = 42+9
C = 51 square inches

Note that (h,k) = (2,-3) is the center and r = 6 is the radius. The last line is not expanded out using the FOIL rule because its common practice to leave it in form. This form allows the reader to quickly determine the center and radius (rather than have to do a lot of algebraic steps before hand).
