Area of the composite figure will be 52.5 cm².
Area of the composite figure,
- Divide the figure into small parts of different shapes.
- Add the areas of the divided figures.
Given composite figure is divided into two parts (1) triangle ABC (2) Rectangle DEFG
Area of ΔABC = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(AB)(BC)[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}(5)[8-(1+2)][/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}(5)(5)[/tex]
= 12.5 cm²
Area of rectangle DEFG = Length × Width
= 8 × 5
= 40 cm²
Area of the composite figure = Area of triangle ABC + Area of DEFG
= 12.5 + 40
= 52.5 cm²
Therefore, area of the composite figure will be 52.5 cm².
