The shapes top is 6 the bottom of the shape is 6 the right side of the shape is 8 the two left sides are 2 and 2 the bottom of the left side is 3 and the bottom of the top of the left side is 3 Solve the following problem using what you know about composite figures. What is the area of the figure?
(1 point)
A. 48 square units
B. 36 square units
C. 24 square units
D. 30 square units
To find the area of this composite figure, we can break it down into two rectangles: one with dimensions 6 x 8 and the other with dimensions 2 x 6.
Area of the rectangle with dimensions 6 x 8:
Area = length x width
Area = 6 x 8
Area = 48 square units
Area of the rectangle with dimensions 2 x 6:
Area = length x width
Area = 2 x 6
Area = 12 square units
Total area of the composite figure:
Total area = 48 + 12
Total area = 60 square units
Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 60 square units. None of the given options are correct.
