Answer 1

34.5 units

Explanation:

Divide the composite figure into different shapes and find their areas and add them all together to find the total area. I'm basically just confirming that the other answer is correct! :D

Answer 2

area of rect. = 6 x 3 = 18
area of left triangle = 1/2(3)(1) = 1.5
area of right triangle = 1/2(3)(4) = 6
area of top triangle = 1/2(6)(3) = 9

area of figure = 18 + 1.5 + 6 + 9 = 34.5

answer
34.5 units²
