Question

This composite figure is made up of three simpler shapes. What is the area of

Answer 1

Answer:

B. 175 square cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of the figure = Area of parallelogram + Area of square + Area of triangle

Area of parallelogram  = (base x height)

                                      = (14 x 5)

                                       =  70 $cm^{2}$

Area of square =  (length x length)

                                      = (7 x 7)

                                      = 49 $cm^{2}$

Area of triangle = ($\frac{1}{2}$ base x height)

                         = ($\frac{1}{2}$ x 16 x 7)

                         = 56 $cm^{2}$

Area of the figure =  70+ 49 + 56

                        = 175

The area of the figure is 175 $cm^{2}$.
