Question
1 (with a grid-based geometric figure and a blank line below)
To find the area of the given composite figure (a triangle and a parallelogram), we can calculate the area of each part and then sum them.
Step 1: Area of the Triangle
The triangle has a base of \( 3 \) units (horizontal) and a height of \( 2 \) units (vertical). The formula for the area of a triangle is \( \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \).
\[
\text{Area of triangle} = \frac{1}{2} \times 3 \times 2 = 3
\]
Step 2: Area of the Parallelogram
The parallelogram has a base of \( 3 \) units (horizontal) and a height of \( 3 \) units (vertical, distance between the parallel sides). The formula for the area of a parallelogram is \( \text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height} \).
\[
\text{Area of parallelogram} = 3 \times 3 = 9
\]
Step 3: Total Area of the Figure
Add the area of the triangle and the parallelogram.
\[
\text{Total Area} = 3 + 9 = 12
\]
