4 m 3 m 2 m 8 m
The area of the composite figure is 52 square meters what is the value in meters of that of the highest of the larger rectangle
To find the area of the composite figure, we need to break it down into its individual shapes and calculate the area of each shape separately.
The composite figure consists of a larger rectangle and a smaller rectangle. The larger rectangle has dimensions of 4m and 8m, and the smaller rectangle has dimensions of 3m and 2m.
Area of the larger rectangle = 4m * 8m = 32 square meters
Area of the smaller rectangle = 3m * 2m = 6 square meters
Total area of the composite figure = 32 square meters + 6 square meters = 38 square meters
Now we know that the total area is 52 square meters, and the area of the larger rectangle is 32 square meters. To find the value in meters of the highest of the larger rectangle, we need to subtract the area of the smaller rectangle from the total area:
52 square meters - 38 square meters = 14 square meters
Therefore, the value in meters of the height of the larger rectangle is the same as its width, which is 8 meters.
