Question

A composite figure is divided into two congruent trapezoids, each with a height of 4 cm.

What is the area of this composite figure?

Answer 1

64cm

Explanation:

I looked at the guy's answer on top of mine and it was correct, go thank him!

Answer 2

The area of this composite figure is
`64\ cm^(2)`

Explanation:

we know that

If the composite figure is divided into two congruent trapezoids, then the area of the composite figure is equal to the area of one trapezoid multiplied by two

so

The area of the composite figure is

`A=2[(1)/(2)(b1+b2)h]`

`A=(b1+b2)h`

substitute the values

`A=(6+10)4`

`A=64\ cm^(2)`
