So for this question, i want to find the area of the composite figure.
00:05
So i need to split this up.
00:06
So the first thing i'm going to do, there's different ways you can split it up.
00:09
I'm going to split it up this way.
00:14
We'll call this a.
00:16
And then i'm going to split it up this way.
00:19
Let's call this b.
00:20
And this will be c.
00:21
So let's find a first.
00:23
So the area of a rectangle is length times width.
00:26
So it'll be five is my length times my width of 10.
00:31
Which would be 50 inches square.
00:34
So that's going to be my a.
00:38
Now let's find b.
00:43
Now, we have to kind of use our other measurements to see.
00:47
So i know that this is going to be seven, but i want to know what this is.
00:53
Now, i know that the whole thing is 10, and this part is 6.
01:00
So 6 plus what will give me 10.
01:03
Well, it has to be 4...
