Answer: 222cm
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of this composite shape you will have to split them into 2 shapes; a rectangle and a triangle.
To work out the area of the rectangle you have to do 15×12= 180
Then, to work out the area of the triangle, you use the formula base times height divided by 2.
7×12=84
84÷2=42
Then to work out the total area of both the rectangle and the triangle, you have to add the area of both.
180+42=222cm
Hope this helps :)
