Good composite shape in the image has an area of 40 square inches what is the area of the rectangle in the composite shape
34 square inches
7 square inches
28 square inches
16 square inches
To find the area of the rectangle in the composite shape, we first need to find the area of the entire composite shape and then subtract the areas of the other shapes from it.
Given:
- The entire composite shape has an area of 40 square inches.
- The dimensions of the composite shape are 3 in x 4 in x 3 in.
Area of the entire composite shape = 40 square inches
Now, the composite shape consists of a rectangle (3 in x 4 in) and two squares (3 in x 3 in).
Area of the two squares = 2 * (3 in * 3 in) = 2 * 9 = 18 square inches
Area of the rectangle = Area of the entire composite shape - Area of the two squares
Area of the rectangle = 40 - 18 = 22 square inches
Therefore, the area of the rectangle in the composite shape is 22 square inches.
