Question

Identify the area of the composite shape.

71 cm squared
98 cm squared
34 cm squared
56 cm squared

Answer 1

Option (1)

Explanation:

Area of the composite figure ABCDEFGH = Area of rectangle ABGH - Area of rectangle CDEF

Area of rectangle ABGH = Length × Width

= 14 × 7

= 98 cm²

Area of rectangle CDEF = 9 × (7 - 4)

= 27 cm²

Area of the composite figure = 98 - 27

= 71 cm²

Option (1) is the correct option.
