Chapter PS, Problem 5.7P

To determine

To find: The area of the given composite figure.

Answer to Problem 5.7P

The area of the given composite figure is $24{\text{cm}}^2$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The given composite figure is,

  

The area of the given composite figure is calculated as,

  $\begin{array}{c}A=A_r+A_t\\ =\left(6\times 3\right)+\left(\frac{1}{2}\times 4\times 3\right)\\ =24{\text{cm}}^2\end{array}$

Thus, the area of the given composite figure is $24{\text{cm}}^2$ .
