CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP?

The area of the figure is A. 216 cm².

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

To calculate the value of the composite shape we first divide it into shapes that we know.

In this case, the composite figure consists of a rectangle and a triangle attached to it.

If we can calculate the individual areas of the two shapes we should be able to calculate the area of the composite shape.

Step 2:

The triangle has a base length of 8 cm and a height of 12 cm. The area of the triangle

The area of the triangle is 48 cm².

Step 3:

The area of a rectangle is the product of its length and its width.

The given rectangle has a length of 14 cm and a width of 12 cm.

The area of the rectangle

The area of the rectangle is 168 cm².

Step 4:

Now we calculate the area of the entire figure by adding the areas of the triangle and the rectangle.

Area of the figure

So the area of the figure is 216 cm² which is option A.

x is greater than 5

step-by-step explanation:

2x+7 is greater than 17

    -7                           -7

2x is greater than 10

divide by 2 each side

x is greater than 5
