Question

Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a rectangle that extends to a smaller rectangle at the bottom left. The length of the bottom rectangle is much lesser on the right. The dimensions are as follows: The larger rectangle shows the right side as 4, truncated bottom length as 3, and left side end to end as 5 including the extended rectangle. The smaller rectangle shows the bottom length as 2. There are 5 right angled symbols to show the perpendicular lines of the two rectangles.
What is the area of the composite figure in square units?(1 point)
square units

Answer 1

14 square units.

Reason: The large rectangle is 3 by 4, area = 12. The small bottom-left rectangle has height 5 − 4 = 1 and width 2, area = 2. Total area = 12 + 2 = 14.
