Question

ASAP PLZ I NEED HELP What is the area of this figure? Drag and drop the appropriate number into the box. A = ft² A shape made up of a rectangle with a length of 18 feet, another rectangle attached to the first rectangle with a length of 5 feet and a height of 5 feet, another rectangle attached to the second rectangle with a length of 1 foot and a height of 4 feet. The longest straight edge of the shape is labeled with a height of 15 feet.

Answer 1

`A=142\ ft^2`

Explanation:

The picture of the question in the attached figure

we know that

The area of the composite figure is equal to the area of three rectangles

The area of rectangle is equal to

`A=bh`

where

b is the base of rectangle

h is the height of rectangle

so

`A=(18)(15-9)+(5+1)(5)+(1)(4)`

`A=(18)(6)+(6)(5)+(1)(4)`

`A=108+30+4`

`A=142\ ft^2`
