What is the area of this composite figure?
Answer:
209 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
This composite figure consist of two figures.
(1) Rectangle with length = 11 cm and width = 16 cm.
(2) Triangle on the top of the rectangle with base = 11 cm and height = 6 cm.
Area of the rectangle = length × width
= 11 × 16
= 176 cm²
Area of the triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(base) (height)[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}(11) (6)[/tex]
= 33 cm²
Total area = 176 + 33
= 209 cm²
