Find the area of the composite figure
3ft 14ft 4ft 4ft 3ft
Area=
To find the area of the composite figure, we need to break it down into smaller shapes and then add the areas together.
First, we can see that we have a rectangle with dimensions 14ft by 4ft. The area of this rectangle is:
14ft x 4ft = 56 sq ft
Next, we have two smaller rectangles with dimensions 3ft by 4ft. The total area of these two rectangles is:
2 x (3ft x 4ft) = 24 sq ft
Finally, we have a triangle with base 3ft and height 4ft. The area of this triangle is:
1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 3ft x 4ft = 6 sq ft
To find the total area of the composite figure, we add up the areas of the individual shapes:
56 sq ft + 24 sq ft + 6 sq ft = 86 sq ft
Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 86 square feet.
