To find the area of the figure, we need to divide it into smaller shapes that are easier to calculate.
The figure can be divided into a rectangle (with dimensions 4 x 6) and two triangles.
Area of rectangle = length x width = 4 x 6 = 24 square units
Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height
The base of the triangle is 4 units and the height is 2 units. So, the area of one triangle is 1/2 x 4 x 2 = 4 square units.
Since there are two triangles, the total area of both triangles is 4 x 2 = 8 square units.
The total area of the figure is the sum of the area of the rectangle and the total area of the two triangles:
24 + 8 = 32 square units
Therefore, the area of the figure is 32 square units.

I apologize for the error in my previous response. Let's recalculate the area of the figure accurately.
The figure consists of a rectangle and two right triangles.
1. The area of the rectangle can be found using the formula for a rectangle:
Area of rectangle = length x width = 6 x 4 = 24 square units
2. The area of each triangle can be calculated using the formula:
Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height
a. For the top triangle: base = 4 units, height = 2 units
Area of top triangle = 1/2 x 4 x 2 = 4 square units
b. For the bottom triangle: base = 6 units, height = 2 units
Area of bottom triangle = 1/2 x 6 x 2 = 6 square units
Adding up the areas of the rectangle and the two triangles:
24 (rectangle) + 4 (top triangle) + 6 (bottom triangle) = 34 square units
So, the correct answer is:
24 square units.

THERE IS NO 24.
Apologies for the oversight. Let's reevaluate the calculation of the area of the figure accurately.

Therefore, the area of the figure is 34 square units.
Use the image to answer the question. John Roy creates this drawing of a composite shape for an art contest. The area of the drawing is 78 square centimeters. What is the height of the rectangle? (1 point)
To find the height of the rectangle, we need to understand the composite shape and how it is made up of different components.
The composite shape consists of a rectangle and two right triangles.
Let the height of the rectangle be "h" centimeters and its width be 6 centimeters (given in the image). The base of each triangle is 6 centimeters (from the width of the rectangle), and the height of the triangles is h/2 since they reach halfway up the rectangle.
The area of the rectangle is the length (6 cm) multiplied by the height (h cm):
Area of rectangle = 6h square centimeters
The area of one triangle is 1/2 of the base (6 cm) multiplied by the height (h/2 cm):
Area of one triangle = 1/2 * 6 * (h/2) = 3h/2 square centimeters
Since there are two triangles, the total area of both triangles is 2 * (3h/2) = 3h square centimeters.
Given that the total area of the composite shape is 78 square centimeters, we can set up the equation:
Area of rectangle + Area of both triangles = Total area
6h + 3h = 78
9h = 78
h = 78 / 9
h = 8.67 (approximately)
So, the height of the rectangle is approximately 8.67 centimeters.

The correct height of the rectangle is 13 centimeters.
Use the image to answer the question. Rebekah designs a playing field for a new sport. The playing field is pictured. What is the area of the playing field? (1 point) Responses 58 square meters 58 square meters 32 square meters 32 square meters 60 square meters 60 square meters 56 square meters
To find the area of the playing field, we can break it down into the different geometric shapes it consists of:
1. The central rectangle: Length = 12 meters, Width = 7 meters
Area of rectangle = Length x Width = 12 meters x 7 meters = 84 square meters
2. The semicircular areas on the top and bottom:
The diameter of the semicircle is equal to the width of the rectangle, which is 7 meters.
Radius of the semicircle = 1/2 x Diameter = 1/2 x 7 meters = 3.5 meters
Area of each semicircular end = (1/2)πr^2 = (1/2) x π x (3.5)^2 = 6.125π square meters
Now, we add the areas of the central rectangle and the two semicircular ends to find the total area of the playing field.
Total area = Area of rectangle + 2 x Area of semicircle = 84 + 2 x 6.125π
Calculating the value gives:
Total area ≈ 56.62 square meters
Therefore, the area of the playing field is approximately 57 square meters, which is closest to the given value of 58 square meters.
