Question

What is the area if the composite figure in square units if the numbers are 5, 2, 3, and 4?

Answer 1

To find the area of the composite figure, we first need to break it down into two separate shapes: a rectangle and a triangle.

The rectangle has a length of 5 units and a width of 2 units, so its area is:
Area of rectangle = length x width = 5 x 2 = 10 square units

The triangle has a base of 3 units and a height of 4 units, so its area is:
Area of triangle = 0.5 x base x height = 0.5 x 3 x 4 = 6 square units

Now, we add the areas of the rectangle and triangle to find the total area of the composite figure:
Total area = area of rectangle + area of triangle
Total area = 10 + 6 = 16 square units

Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 16 square units.
