What is the area of the composite figure?

Question

7in 3in 1in 1in 1in

Answer 1

To find the area of the composite figure, add up the areas of all the individual shapes.

Area of the rectangle: 7in x 3in = 21in^2
Area of the three squares: 1in x 1in = 1in^2 (each square)
Total area = 21in^2 + 1in^2 + 1in^2 + 1in^2 = 24in^2

The area of the composite figure is 24 square inches.
