Solve the problem using what you know about composite figures what is the area of the figure
30
40
30
24 square units
To find the area of the figure, we need to break it down into smaller shapes and calculate the area of each individual shape.
The figure can be split into two rectangles: a larger one with dimensions 30 by 40 and a smaller one with dimensions 30 by 24.
The area of the larger rectangle is calculated as A1 = length x width = 30 x 40 = 1200 square units.
The area of the smaller rectangle is calculated as A2 = length x width = 30 x 24 = 720 square units.
Therefore, the total area of the figure is A1 + A2 = 1200 + 720 = 1920 square units.
