Question

Find the total area for the following composite shape.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 84

Step-by-step explanation:

To make it easier to find the total area, you should break the shape into two parts, a triangle and a rectangle.

Step 1:

To find the rectangle area we now we have to multiply l * w

In this case, the length is 12 and the width is 4 so 12*4 = 48

Step 2:

To find the area of the triangle you have to do the formula A = 1/2bh where b is the base 12, and h is the height (10-4) 6. So 6*12 = 72 and 72/2 is 36

Step 3:

Last you need to add the area of both the rectangle and the triangle to get the total area of 84 sq meters
