How can you decompose the composite figure to determine its area
1 as two triangles, two rectangles, and two semicircles
2 as a trapezoid, a rectangle, and two semicircles
3 as a regular hexagon, a rectangle, and two squares
4 as a trapezoid, a rectangle, and two squares

4 as a trapezoid, a rectangle, and two squares

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram below is a composite figure .To determine it area the composite figure can be decomposed into various shapes.

The shapes it can be decomposed are a trapezoid , a rectangle and 2 squares.

The top side of the composite figure forms a trapezoid . A trapezoid is a quadrilateral with one pair of parallel sides. It is also known as trapezium.

The shape below the trapezoid can be cut into a rectangle .A rectangle is a quadrilateral with opposite sides equal in length and are also parallel.

The two shapes formed below the rectangle are squares. Squares are quadrilaterals with all sides equal in length and opposite sides are parallel.  

c. 4 1/4 pounds

options a,b,c are the right answer.

step-by-step explanation:

a linear parent function is always represented as y = x

if we write this function in the form of y=mx+c

⇒

or  

now if we plot a graph we will find these characteristics:

1) y intercept of the graph is zero so its a straight line passing through origin.

2) as we can see in both the forms of function written, values of x and y may be either positive or negative for the positive slope means points on the graph are either in first quadrant or in third one.

3) it's slope is one.
