Enter your answer as a number, like this: 42

Answer 1

Answer:

280

Step-by-step explanation:

first, find the area of the triangle

formula: 1/2 (base × height)

so the area of the triangle is

= 1/2 (16×5)

= 1/2 (80)

= 40

then, find the area of the rectangle

formula: length × breadth

the area of the rectangle is

= 15 × 16

= 240

the area of the composite figure is the sum of the areas of the triangle and rectangle

= 40 + 240

= 280
