What is the area of the composite figure
One rectangle has an base of 7 and height of 6
The other has and base of 1 and height of 3
The last one has a base of 1 and height of 1
To find the area of each rectangle, you use the formula Area = base x height.
For the first rectangle: Area = 7 x 6 = 42
For the second rectangle: Area = 1 x 3 = 3
For the third rectangle: Area = 1 x 1 = 1
Therefore, the total area of the composite figure is the sum of the areas of the three rectangles: 42 + 3 + 1 = 46 square units.
The options are 28 square miles
21 square miles
31 square miles and 25 square miles
To find the total area of the composite figure consisting of three rectangles, we need to add the areas of each individual rectangle.
Rectangle 1: 7 x 6 = 42 square units
Rectangle 2: 1 x 3 = 3 square units
Rectangle 3: 1 x 1 = 1 square unit
Total area = 42 + 3 + 1 = 46 square units
However, when converted to square miles, the answer might be different. It's important to know the conversion factor from square units to square miles. Assuming 1 square mile is equivalent to 640 acres, we can perform the conversion.
46 square units * (1 square mile / 640 square units) = 0.071875 square miles
Based on this conversion, none of the options provided match the calculated area. Would you like to try a different approach or provide additional information to determine the correct answer?
Divide 42 by 2
Dividing 42 by 2 gives us:
42 รท 2 = 21
So, the area of the composite figure is 21 square units.
The closest option provided is 21 square miles.
+3+1
Adding 3 and 1 to the result:
21 + 3 + 1 = 25
So, the total area of the composite figure is 25 square units.
The correct option provided is 25 square miles.
