Question What is the area, in square yards, of the composite shape below? ​ 5,6,3,9 Area of a rectangle = lw

Answer 1

To find the area of the composite shape, we need to find the individual areas of the rectangles and then add them together.

Area of rectangle 1 = 5 * 6 = 30 square yards
Area of rectangle 2 = 3 * 9 = 27 square yards

Total area = 30 + 27 = 57 square yards

Therefore, the area of the composite shape is 57 square yards.
