What is the area of the composite figure?

Answer

96

Explanation:

If you divide the shape vertically in half from the right to the left, you will split up the side

after splitting the side evenly you will realize that the four lines up perfectly so multiply 6x4for 1 square, and then 12x4 for the other, then we have a triangle to solve.

To solve the triangle, it would be the heightx base divided by 2 or half. So do that and you get 4and 6 after getting that add all the sums together so 24+24+48=96

the thirteen colonies are:

connecticut, delaware, georgia, maryland, massachusetts, new jersey, new york, new hampshire, north carolina, pennsylvania, rhode island, south carolina, virginia
