What is the area of the composite shape

Step-by-step explanation:

The shape can be divided into two parts, let use the division in the question

So we have two rectangles

The area of a rectangle is given by l×b.

Let the big rectangle be 1

And the smaller rectangle be 2

Rectangle 1

Length is 16cm, breadth is 6cm

Area=l ×b

Area=16×6

Area=96cm^2

Rectangle two

The length will be 14-6=8cm

And the breadth will be 16-2=14cm

Then,

Area=l ×b

Area=14×8

Area=112cm^2

Total area is

Area1+Area2

112+96

Total area=208cm^2.

36/60

36/2=18

60/2=30

18/30

18/3=6

30/3=10

6/10

6/2=3

10/2=5

your final answer would be 3/5 of an

hope this !
