By decomposing the figure in simpler shapes, we will see that the total area is:
a = 180 cm²
<h3>
How to find the area of the composite figure?</h3>
Remember that the area of a rectangle of width W and length L is:
A = L*W
And the area of a triangle with base B and height H is:
A = B*H/2.
Then, the upper part can be seen as a rectangle of length of 6cm and width of 6 cm, with two triangles on the sides, such that each triangle has a base of 3cm and a height of 6cm.
So the area of that part is:
A = 6cm*6cm + 2*(3cm*6cm/2) = 54cm²
Now, the bottom triangle has a base of 12 cm, and a height of:
15cm - 6cm = 9cm
Then its area is:
A' = 12cm*9cm/2 = 54cm²
This means that the total area of the figure is:
total area = 54cm² + 54cm² = 108cm²

let x be how far up the wall ladder reaches
by Pythagoras theorem
x^2+5^2=13^2
x^2 =(13^2)-(5^2)
x= square root of 144
x= 12 or x =-12(rej,x>0)
hence ladder reaches 12 foot up the wall

Answer:
-3x + 4y = 40.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's convert the equation to standard form:
y - 4 = 3/4(x + 8)
y - 4 = 3/4 x + 6
y = 3/4x + 10
Multiply through be 4:
4y = 3x + 40
-3x + 4y = 40 (answer).
