Find the area of the composite figure​

As it is a composite shape we would split the shape up so we get a triangle and a square

Then we would work out the area of the square and the triangle

Area of a square = length x width
Area of a triangle = 1/2 base x height

Area of a square = 10 x 15 = 150
Area of a triangle = 1/2 15 x 5 = 37.5

(5 is the height of the triangle as you do 15-10 to work out the height of just the triangle

To get the total area we just combine both areas using addition

37.5+150=187.5

187.5ft squared

Hope this helped

1.) 18+5 is one way i’m pretty sure there are others but i can’t think of them right now
