To find the area of the composite figure, we first calculate the area of the main rectangle:
Area = base x height
Area = 7 miles x 3 miles
Area = 21 square miles
Next, we calculate the area of the two rectangular extensions:
Left side extension:
Area = base x height
Area = 1 mile x 3 miles
Area = 3 square miles
Right side extension:
Area = base x height
Area = 1 mile x 1 mile
Area = 1 square mile
Finally, we add up the areas of the main rectangle and the two extensions:
Total area = 21 square miles + 3 square miles + 1 square mile
Total area = 25 square miles
Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 25 square miles.
se the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a rectangle extending upward on the top left and top right sides forming two more rectangles of varying width and length. The dimensions are as follows: The bottom of the rectangle is 7 miles. The extended left side is 6 miles. The vertical height of the left side rectangular extension is 3 miles. The vertical and horizontal lengths of the right side rectangular extension is 1 mile each. There are six right angle symbols at the vertices of the polygon.
