Question

Can you explain to me (detailed) on how to do this problem? I will give you a brainly if you get this right.

Answer 1

you solve the problem in two parts. where the dotted line is, you use that to make this figure into two shapes.

Answer 2

Answer:

Area: 62m

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we have a composite shape which means it is a shape made of multiple shapes. We can see a doted line going from one side of the shape to the other side. It is separating the shape and sectioning it into 2 shapes.

Second, we are going to use the 2 shapes and get their areas and then combine them to get the actual area of the full composite shape.

From Left to Right:

L x W = A

6m x 5m = 30m

Area of Left Shape: 30m

8m x 4m = 32m

Area of Right Shape: 32m

30m + 32m equals 62m.

Therefore the area of this composite shape is 62m.

Hope this helps!
