Find the area of the composite figure. Make sure to show all steps and work
Area of a triangle = 1/2bh
Area of a parallelogram = bh
14cm base 5cm height 6cm at the top
To find the area of the composite figure, we need to find the areas of both the triangle and the parallelogram, and then add them together.
Area of the triangle:
1/2 * base * height
1/2 * 14cm * 5cm
1/2 * 70
35 cm²
Area of the parallelogram:
base * height
14cm * 6cm
84 cm²
Now, add the areas of the triangle and the parallelogram together:
35 cm² + 84 cm² = 119 cm²
So, the area of the composite figure is 119 cm².
