Find the area of the composite figure

Question

3ft 14ft 4ft 4ft 3ft

Area=

Answer 1

To find the area of the composite figure, we need to break it down into smaller shapes and then add the areas together.

First, we can see that we have a rectangle with dimensions 14ft by 4ft. The area of this rectangle is:

14ft x 4ft = 56 sq ft

Next, we have two smaller rectangles with dimensions 3ft by 4ft. The total area of these two rectangles is:

2 x (3ft x 4ft) = 24 sq ft

Finally, we have a triangle with base 3ft and height 4ft. The area of this triangle is:

1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 3ft x 4ft = 6 sq ft

To find the total area of the composite figure, we add up the areas of the individual shapes:

56 sq ft + 24 sq ft + 6 sq ft = 86 sq ft

Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 86 square feet.
