Given:
Composite figure
To find:
The area of the composite figure.
Solution:
The composite figure splitted into three shapes.
One is rectangle and the other two shapes are triangle.
Area of a rectangle = length × width
= 10 × 16
Area of a rectangle = 160 cm²
Area of one triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{2}\times 16\times 6[/tex]
Area of one triangle = 48 cm²
Area of another triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}bh[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{2}\times 16\times 6[/tex]
Area of another triangle = 48 cm²
Area of composite figure = 160 cm² + 48 cm² + 48 cm²
= 256 cm²
The area of the composite figure is 256 cm².
