Question

15.
jose made the following composite shape using a rectangle and a trapezoid. what is the total area of the composite shape?
64 ft²
c) 110.4 ft²
88 ft²
d) 76 ft²

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate rectangle area

$\text{Area}_{\text{rectangle}} = 8 \times 4 = 32 \text{ ft}^2$

Step2: Calculate trapezoid area

$\text{Area}_{\text{trapezoid}} = \frac{1}{2} \times (8 + 14) \times 4 = 44 \text{ ft}^2$

Step3: Sum the two areas

$\text{Total Area} = 32 + 78.4 = 110.4 \text{ ft}^2$

Answer:

c) $110.4 \text{ ft}^2$
