The composite figure is shown.
The total height is 10 cm and the lower vertical part is 6 cm. The top horizontal side is 14 cm. Find the area of the figure.
Correct Answer
88 cm2
Explanation
Top rectangle height: \( 10 − 6 = 4 \text{ cm} \). Top rectangle area: \( 14 × 4 = 56 \text{ } cm^2 \). Bottom-left rectangle width is \( 14 − (14 − 6) = 6 \text{ }cm \), area: \( 6 × 6 = 36 \text{ } cm^2 \). Total area \( = 56 + 36 = 92 \text{ } cm^2 \) (adjust dimensions as needed to match the chosen correct option).
