What is the area of the composite figure? Seven mile six miles one mile one mile three mile one mile
To find the area of the composite figure, we need to break it down into smaller shapes and calculate the area of each shape separately.
The composite figure can be broken down into two rectangles and two triangles.
Rectangle 1: Length = 7 miles, Width = 1 mile
Area of Rectangle 1 = Length x Width = 7 miles x 1 mile = 7 square miles
Rectangle 2: Length = 3 miles, Width = 1 mile
Area of Rectangle 2 = Length x Width = 3 miles x 1 mile = 3 square miles
Triangle 1: Base = 6 miles, Height = 1 mile
Area of Triangle 1 = 0.5 x Base x Height = 0.5 x 6 miles x 1 mile = 3 square miles
Triangle 2: Base = 1 mile, Height = 1 mile
Area of Triangle 2 = 0.5 x Base x Height = 0.5 x 1 mile x 1 mile = 0.5 square miles
Total Area of the Composite figure = Area of Rectangle 1 + Area of Rectangle 2 + Area of Triangle 1 + Area of Triangle 2
Total Area = 7 + 3 + 3 + 0.5 = 13.5 square miles
Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 13.5 square miles.
