The top horizontal edge of the rectangle measures 17 centimeters, the left vertical edge of the rectangle measures 22 centimeters, and the bottom horizontal edge measures 17 centimeters. The left vertical leg is on the right edge of the rectangle, with v
Calculate the area of the composite figure, which is not drawn to scale.
It appears there is a triangle involved somehow, but all I can make out is three sides of a rectangle.
In any case, surely you know how to figure the area of rectangles and triangles, right?
Yes.
The triangle is at the top and is connected to a rectangle.
Wait never mind. That was the other question. I'll update soon.
wha is it
Sure, whenever you update with the details of the question, I'll be able to assist you.
22 on the side 10 on the other side 17 on the bottem and top 19 on the side
To find the area of the composite figure, we need to first split it into two parts: a rectangle and a triangle.
The dimensions of the rectangle are:
Length = 22 cm
Width = 17 + 19 = 36 cm
Area of the rectangle = Length x Width = 22 x 36 = 792 cmΒ²
Now, let's find the area of the triangle which is on top of the rectangle.
The base of the triangle is equal to the width of the rectangle, which is 36 cm.
The height of the triangle can be found by subtracting the lengths of the other two sides from the length of the rectangle:
Height = 22 - 17 - 10 = 5 cm
Area of the triangle = (base x height)/2 = (36 x 5)/2 = 90 cmΒ²
Therefore, the total area of the composite figure is:
792 + 90 = 882 cmΒ²
