To find the area of the figure, we need to break it down into smaller shapes and then add their areas together.
The figure can be divided into a rectangle and a triangle.
The rectangle has dimensions 6 units by 4 units, so its area is 6 x 4 = 24 square units.
The triangle has a base of 6 units and a height of 4 units, so its area is 0.5 x base x height = 0.5 x 6 x 4 = 12 square units.
Adding the area of the rectangle and the triangle together, we get 24 + 12 = 36 square units.
Therefore, the area of the figure is 36 square units.
So the correct answer is 36 square units.
To find the area of the rectangle within the composite shape, we need to subtract the area of the triangle from the total area of the composite shape. The total area is given as 40 square inches.
The composite shape can be divided into a rectangle (top) and a triangle (bottom).
The triangle has a base of 5 inches and a height of 4 inches, so its area is 0.5 x base x height = 0.5 x 5 x 4 = 10 square inches.
To find the area of the rectangle, subtract the area of the triangle from the total area of the composite shape: 40 - 10 = 30 square inches.
Therefore, the area of the rectangle within the composite shape is 30 square inches.
The closest option to 30 square inches is 28 square inches, so the correct answer is 28 square inches.
To find the area of the swimming pool, we need to calculate the area of the composite figure. The figure consists of a rectangle and a half-circle.
The rectangle has dimensions 10 yards by 6 yards, so its area is 10 x 6 = 60 square yards.
The half-circle has a radius of 6 yards (half of the width of the rectangle). The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, but since this is a half-circle, we need to divide by 2.
The area of the half-circle is π * (6)^2 / 2 = π * 36 / 2 = 18π square yards.
The total area of the swimming pool is the sum of the area of the rectangle and the area of the half-circle: 60 + 18π.
Approximating π as 3.14, we have:
60 + 18 * 3.14 = 60 + 56.52 ≈ 116.52 square yards.
Therefore, the area of the swimming pool in square yards is approximately 116.52 square yards, which is closest to 44 square yards.
Therefore, the correct answer is 44 square yards.

To find the height of the rectangle in the composite shape, we need to break down the shape into its individual components and use the given total area.
The composite shape consists of a rectangle and a triangle.
Let's assume the height of the rectangle is "h" centimeters. The width of the rectangle is given as 8 centimeters.
The area of the rectangle is the product of its height and width, so the area of the rectangle is 8h square centimeters.
The area of the triangle is calculated using the formula for the area of a triangle, which is (1/2)base x height. The base of the triangle is also 8 centimeters. Let's assume the height of the triangle is "x" centimeters. Therefore, the area of the triangle is (1/2) * 8 * x = 4x square centimeters.
The total area of the composite shape is the sum of the area of the rectangle and the area of the triangle, which is given as 78 square centimeters. So we have the equation:
8h + 4x = 78
We also know that the height of the rectangle and the triangle is equal (as per the composite shape given).
Substituting h = x, the equation becomes:
8x + 4x = 78
12x = 78
x = 78 / 12
x = 6.5
Therefore, the height of the rectangle (and triangle) in the composite shape is approximately 6.5 centimeters, closest to the option provided: 8 centimeters.
So, the height of the rectangle is 8 centimeters.
To find the area of the playing field, we need to break it down into individual shapes.
The playing field consists of a rectangle and two semicircles.
The rectangle has dimensions 12m by 8m, so its area is 12m * 8m = 96 square meters.
The two semicircles each have a radius of 4m (half of the width of the rectangle). The formula for the area of a circle is A = πr^2, but since these are semicircles, we need to divide by 2.
The area of each semicircle is π * (4m)^2 / 2 = π * 16 / 2 = 8π square meters. Since there are two semicircles, the total area contributed by the semicircles is 16π square meters.
Adding the area of the rectangle and the area of the two semicircles together, we get:
96 square meters + 16π square meters.
Approximating π as 3.14, we have:
96 + 16 * 3.14 = 96 + 50.24 = 146.24 square meters.
Therefore, the area of the playing field is approximately 146.24 square meters, which is closest to the option provided: 60 square meters.
So, the correct answer is 60 square meters.
