what is the area of this figure?

OpenStudy (mindblast3r):

This is a composite shape, so first you must find the area of one shape then the next and finally add them together to get your answer.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

I agree with MindBlast. Divide the given shape in half by drawing a vertical line. Then ask yourself how you'd fine the areas of the left and right rectangles. All the dimensions you need are already in the given diagram.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cut it up. Take 23-10 and you get the length of the rectangle laying on its side. Then you can find the area of the little triangle. And what you have left is the area of the bigger one. Then add it together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry, rectangle**
