To find the area of a composite figure, you need to break it down into simpler shapes and then calculate their individual areas.
In this case, let's say the composite figure consists of a rectangle and a triangle. First, find the area of the rectangle:
Rectangle:
Length = 6 ft
Width = 3.5 ft
Area = length x width = 6 ft x 3.5 ft = 21 ft^2
Next, find the area of the triangle:
Base = 6 ft
Height = 1.7 ft
Area = 0.5 x base x height = 0.5 x 6 ft x 1.7 ft = 5.1 ft^2
Now, add the areas of the rectangle and triangle together to get the total area of the composite figure:
Total Area = Area of rectangle + Area of triangle = 21 ft^2 + 5.1 ft^2 = 26.1 ft^2
Therefore, the correct response is:
26.1 ft^2
