The area of the figure can be calculated by finding the area of the entire polygon and then subtracting the area of the missing rectangle.

Area of entire polygon:
(6 + 6) * 8 = 12 * 8 = 96 square units

Area of missing rectangle:
2 * 8 = 16 square units

Area of the figure:
96 - 16 = 80 square units

The correct answer is not provided in the options, but the correct area of the figure is 80 square units.

To find the area of the rectangle within the composite shape, we can subtract the area of the two triangles from the total area of the composite figure.

Total area of the composite figure:
Area of triangles: 2 * (1/2 * base * height) = 2 * (1/2 * 3 * 4) = 2 * 6 = 12 square inches
Given total area is 40 square inches

Area of rectangle within the composite shape:
40 - 12 = 28 square inches

The area of the rectangle within the composite shape is 28 square inches. The correct response is "28 square inches".

A composite shape is drawn with a rectangle and a square. All lines are straight and all corners are marked as right angles. The shape is made with a vertically aligned rectangle 8 yards in length and 7 yards in width. A horizontally aligned rectangle 3 yards wide and of unknown length is removed from the bottom left corner of the original rectangle. The remaining width along the bottom right is 3 yards.

To find the area of the swimming pool, we need to calculate the total area of the original rectangle and then subtract the area of the rectangle that was removed from the bottom left corner.

Area of the original rectangle:
Length * Width = 8 * 7 = 56 square yards

Area of the removed rectangle:
Length * Width = 3 * 3 = 9 square yards

Area of the swimming pool:
56 - 9 = 47 square yards

The area of the swimming pool is 47 square yards. However, this is not provided in the options. The closest option is 44 square yards.

A composite shape is drawn using a rectangle and a triangle. The rectangle has a base labeled as 6 centimeters. A triangle showing a perpendicular height of 6 centimeters is stacked on the top side of the rectangle. The base of the triangle and the top of the rectangle have a common side. Right angle symbols are shown on all four corners of the rectangle.

To find the height of the rectangle, we need to first calculate the area of the composite shape. The composite shape consists of a rectangle and a triangle.

Area of the rectangle: Base * Height = 6 cm * Height = 6H square cm
Area of the triangle: (1/2) * Base * Height = (1/2) * 6 cm * 6 cm = 18 square cm

Total area of the composite shape:
Area of rectangle + Area of triangle = 6H + 18

Given that the total area is 78 square centimeters:
6H + 18 = 78
6H = 60
H = 10 cm

Therefore, the height of the rectangle is 10 centimeters, which is one of the provided options.

To find the area of the composite shape (playing field), we need to calculate the area of the original rectangle and then subtract the area of the rectangle that was removed.

Area of the original rectangle:
Length * Width = 10 * 6 = 60 square meters

Area of the removed rectangle:
Remaining Length * Remaining Width = 8 * 4 = 32 square meters

Area of the playing field:
60 - 32 = 28 square meters

The area of the playing field is 28 square meters. Since this option is not provided, the closest option is 32 square meters.

To find the area of the composite figure, we need to calculate the total area of the original polygon and then subtract the area of the missing rectangle.

Total area of the original polygon:
Top * Right = 6 * 8 = 48 square units

Area of the missing rectangle:
2 * 8 = 16 square units

Area of the figure:
48 - 16 = 32 square units

The correct option among the provided choices is the closest one - 30 square units. However, the correct area of the figure is 32 square units.
