Find the area of the composite figure. Make sure to show all steps and work

Question

Area of a triangle = 1/2bh
Area of a parallelogram = bh
14cm base 5cm height 6cm at the top

Answer 1

To find the area of the composite figure, we need to find the areas of both the triangle and the parallelogram, and then add them together.

Area of the triangle:
1/2 * base * height
1/2 * 14cm * 5cm
1/2 * 70
35 cm²

Area of the parallelogram:
base * height
14cm * 6cm
84 cm²

Now, add the areas of the triangle and the parallelogram together:
35 cm² + 84 cm² = 119 cm²

So, the area of the composite figure is 119 cm².
