The area of the composite figure is 52 m² what is the value in meters of the height of the larger rectangle and on the rectangle we have 8 m on the base 3 m on the side and 2 m on the other side and 4 m on the top
To find the height of the larger rectangle, we need to first find the total area of the composite figure.
The composite figure consists of two rectangles. The area of the larger rectangle is 8m * h = 8h m², and the area of the smaller rectangle is 3m * 4m = 12 m².
Since the total area of the composite figure is 52 m², we have:
8h + 12 = 52
Solving for h:
8h = 40
h = 5 m
Therefore, the height of the larger rectangle is 5 meters.
