Find the area of the composite shape. (1 point) Answer: (Do NOT label) Skip to navigation
In order to find the area of the composite shape, we need to break it down into smaller shapes and calculate their individual areas.
For this particular composite shape, we can break it down into a rectangle and a triangle.
Area of rectangle = length x width
Area = 5 x 4 = 20 square units
Area of triangle = 1/2 x base x height
Area = 1/2 x 2 x 4 = 4 square units
Total area of the composite shape = Area of rectangle + Area of triangle
Total area = 20 + 4 = 24 square units
Therefore, the area of the composite shape is 24 square units.
