What is the area of the composite figure?

A. (6pi + 4) cm
B. ( 6pi + 16) cm
C. ( 12pi + 4) cm
D. ( 12pi + 16) cm

16 + 6pi cm

Step-by-step explanation:

We have a square of length 4 cm

A = s^2 = 4^2 = 16

We have 3 semi circles

with radius 2

A semi circle has an area of

1/2 pi r^2 = 1/2 pi (2)^2 = 1/2 (4pi) = 2pi

There are 3 of them

3 * 2 pi = 6pi

Add the areas together for the square and the semicircles

16 + 6pi

false

step-by-step explanation:

false.   two legs of the trapezoid would be congruent, but the other two would not.   were all the legs congruent, then we'd have a square; were the 2 shorter sides congruent and the 2 longer sides also congruent, we'd have a rectangle.

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2
