Question

What is the area, in square yards of the composite shape?
The shape has 5, 6, 9, and 3 Area of a rectangle A=lw

Answer 1

To find the area of the composite shape, we first need to find the area of each individual shape and then add them together.

Area of rectangle with length 5 and width 6:
Area = 5 * 6 = 30 square yards

Area of rectangle with length 9 and width 3:
Area = 9 * 3 = 27 square yards

Now, we can add the areas of the two rectangles together to find the total area of the composite shape:
Total area = 30 + 27 = 57 square yards

Therefore, the area of the composite shape is 57 square yards.
