To find the area of this figure, we need to first break it down into simpler shapes that we can calculate the area of.
The figure can be split into a rectangle with dimensions 6 x 6 (base and height), a rectangle with dimensions 2 x 3, and a triangle with base 2 and height 6.
The area of the first rectangle is 6 x 6 = 36 square units.
The area of the second rectangle is 2 x 3 = 6 square units.
The area of the triangle is (1/2) x base x height = (1/2) x 2 x 6 = 6 square units.
Adding the areas of all three shapes together, we get:
36 + 6 + 6 = 48 square units.
Therefore, the area of the figure is 48 square units.
Solve the following problem using what you know about composite figures what is the area of the figure this figure looks like a backwards C, and on the base of that we have six and then on the left side we have a two and then we have also on the left side at three and another three and then up above on the side that steal the left side. We have a two then on the top we have a six and on the right side we have an eight that goes up and down, so would the answer be 36 square units or 48 square units 30 square units or 24 square units
