The figure shows a shape that is made up of a rectangle and a half circle. To find the total area of that composite figure, you find the area of the rectangle and the area of the half circle, and you add them together to get the total area.
Rectangle:
Circle:
Total area = area of rectangle + area of half circle
You can find the total area by dividing the figure into two different parts. You have one large rectangle and two smaller triangles that have the same given dimensions, meaning that the triangles will have the same area. Find the area for the divided figures first.
Rectangle
The length is 24 cm (6 + 8 + 10). The width is 15 cm.
A = lw
A = (24 cm)(15 cm)
A = 360 cm²
Triangle
The height is 6 cm. The base is 8 cm.
A = 1/2bh
A = 1/2(6)(8)
A = 3(8)
A = 24 cm²
Now, add the areas together. Since there are two triangles, make sure to account for that in your calculations.
are you asking how to find it? If so all you have to do is find the area of the basic shapes that you divide your composite shape into, if thats not what your looking for let me know.
In the pictures you see a composite shape, you can split it into easier shapes and from there you find the area of each shape and then add them together to find the area off the full original shape
