Find the Area of the composite figure

Your answer is B.), 26 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

So, what you do is you have to split it into two different shapes, find the areas of those, and then "put them back together" (add them together).

So, what I did is I made the whole top part one shape and then the bottom part. Here are the dimensions:

Top Part: 2 in. × 9 in.

Bottom Part: 4 in. × 2 in.

Now, you multiply and add them.

Top Part:

Bottom Part:

Add:

Since it's a 2-dimensional figure, do not forget that when you label, you have to put a "2," as in "squared," like it's an exponent, but know that it is not an exponent. It's just so that people know, when looking at it, that it's the area of a 2-dimensional figure.
