Question

Find the area of the composite shape: Measurements; 3. 3. 1. 4. 6

Answer 1

It's supposed to equal 57 square cm

Answer 2

To find the area of the composite shape, we need to break it down into smaller, simpler shapes.

First, let's identify the shapes within the composite shape:
- Rectangle with dimensions 3 and 3
- Square with side length 1
- Triangle with base 4 and height 6

Next, we calculate the area of each individual shape:
- Rectangle: Area = length x width = 3 x 3 = 9
- Square: Area = side x side = 1 x 1 = 1
- Triangle: Area = 0.5 x base x height = 0.5 x 4 x 6 = 12

Now, we add up the areas of all the shapes to get the total area of the composite shape:
Total Area = 9 (rectangle) + 1 (square) + 12 (triangle) = 22

Therefore, the total area of the composite shape is 22.

Answer 3

Apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate it.

Rectangle:
Area = length x width
Area = 3 x 3
Area = 9 square cm

Square:
Area = side x side
Area = 1 x 1
Area = 1 square cm

Triangle:
Area = 0.5 x base x height
Area = 0.5 x 4 x 6
Area = 12 square cm

Now, let's find the total area of the composite shape:
Total Area = Area of Rectangle + Area of Square + Area of Triangle
Total Area = 9 + 1 + 12
Total Area = 22 square cm

Thus, the correct area of the composite shape is 22 square cm.
