Find the area of the composite shape below.

a 66.8
b 91.92
c 101.12
d 101.6

66.24 (This answer does not match to any of the options...)

Step-by-step explanation:

This shape can be divided into 2 different shapes. A triangle and a rectangle.

Area of a Triangle = × base × height

= × 8.8 × 7.8

= 34.32

Area of a Rectangle = Length × Width

= (19.2 - 7.8) × (8.8 - (3+3))

= 11.4 × 2.8

= 31.92

Total area = 34.32 + 31.92 = 66.24

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.
