Use the image to answer the question. What is the area of the composite figure in square units?(1 point) square units Skip to navigation
To find the area of the composite figure, we first need to break it down into smaller, simpler shapes. In this case, we have a rectangle and a triangle.
The rectangle has a length of 7 units and a width of 6 units. The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width. So, the area of the rectangle is 7 * 6 = 42 square units.
The triangle on top of the rectangle has a base of 7 units and a height of 3 units. The formula for the area of a triangle is 1/2 * base * height. So, the area of the triangle is 1/2 * 7 * 3 = 10.5 square units.
Therefore, the total area of the composite figure is 42 (rectangle) + 10.5 (triangle) = 52.5 square units.
The area of the composite figure is 52.5 square units.
