To find the area of the figure, we need to split it into two triangles.
First, we find the area of the triangle with base 3 cm and height 5 cm:
Area = (1/2) * base * height
Area = (1/2) * 3 cm * 5 cm
Area = 7.5 cm^2
Next, we find the area of the triangle with base 6.2 cm and height 5 cm:
Area = (1/2) * base * height
Area = (1/2) * 6.2 cm * 5 cm
Area = 15.5 cm^2
Adding the two areas together:
Total Area = 7.5 cm^2 + 15.5 cm^2
Total Area = 23 cm^2
So, the area of the composite figure is 23 cm^2. None of the provided options are correct, so the correct answer is not listed.
The image of a composite figure is shown.
A four-sided shape with the top side labeled as 9.2 cm. The height is labeled 5 cm. A portion of the base from the perpendicular to a vertex is labeled 3 cm. The portion of the base from the perpendicular to the right vertex is 6.2 cm.
What is the area of the figure?
46 cm2
64.4 cm2
32.2 cm2
39 cm2
