Use the image to answer the question.
A composite shape is drawn. The vertical width on the left side from top to bottom shows no measurement. The shape is drawn with straight lines and right angles. A horizontal line marked 4 miles is drawn from the upper left corner. A vertical line marked 2 miles drops down from the the top horizontal line. A horizontal line marked 2 miles continues to the right. A vertical line marked 2 miles drops down to become the right edge of the shape. A horizontal line of unknown length is drawn leftward. A vertical line marked 2 miles drops down to the base. A baseline marked 2 miles meets the width side to form the lower left corner.
A city map is shown. What is the area of the city in square miles?(1 point)
square miles awnser
The area of the city is 8 square miles.
To calculate the area, we need to find the area of each individual rectangle within the composite shape and then add them all together.
First rectangle: 4 miles x 2 miles = 8 square miles
Second rectangle: 2 miles x 2 miles = 4 square miles
Third rectangle: 2 miles x 2 miles = 4 square miles
Adding all three rectangles together, we get a total area of 8 + 4 + 4 = 16 square miles.

I apologize for the mistake in my previous response. Let me correct it:
To calculate the area of the city in square miles, we need to find the area of each individual rectangle within the composite shape and then add them all together.
First rectangle: 4 miles x 2 miles = 8 square miles
Second rectangle: 2 miles x 2 miles = 4 square miles
Third rectangle: 2 miles x 2 miles = 4 square miles
Fourth rectangle: 2 miles x unknown length = unknown area
We don't have the measurement for the length of the fourth rectangle, so we cannot calculate the total area accurately. Therefore, the answer should be: The area of the city cannot be determined without the measurement of the unknown length. Thank you for pointing out the error.

I apologize for the oversight. Given the information provided in the description, we can determine the total area of the city by calculating the area of each individual rectangle within the composite shape.
The rectangles in the composite shape are:
1. 4 miles x 2 miles = 8 square miles
2. 2 miles x 2 miles = 4 square miles
3. 2 miles x unknown length = unknown area
4. 2 miles x unknown length = unknown area
Since we do not have the measurements for the length of the last two rectangles, the total area of the city cannot be accurately determined without the missing information. The correct answer is that the area of the city in square miles cannot be determined without the measurements of the unknown lengths. Thank you for your patience.
