Area of the composite figure in square units 5 2 3 and 4
To find the area of the composite figure, we can break it down into simpler shapes and then find the area of each shape separately.
First, let's break down the figure into a rectangle (5 x 2) and a trapezoid (base 4, height 3, and top length 5).
The area of a rectangle is given by:
Area = length x width
Area = 5 x 2
Area = 10 square units
The area of a trapezoid is given by:
Area = ((a + b) / 2) x h
Area = ((4 + 5) / 2) x 3
Area = (9 / 2) x 3
Area = 4.5 x 3
Area = 13.5 square units
Now, we can find the total area of the composite figure by adding the area of the rectangle and the trapezoid:
Total area = 10 + 13.5
Total area = 23.5 square units
Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 23.5 square units.
