Question

Find the composite area

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of the composite figure = 42 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

Composite area of the given figure = Area of the rectangle + Area of the right triangle

Area of the rectangle = Length × Width

                                    = 6 × 5

                                    = 30 in²

Area of the right triangle = $\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})$

                                         = $\frac{1}{2}(4)(6)$

                                         = 12 in²

Area of the composite figure = 30 + 12

                                                  = 42 in²
