The figure has been decomposed into three rectangles as shown.

A figure is decomposed into 3 rectangles. The rectangles are 4 inches by 2 inches, 6.5 inches by 2 inches, and 4 inches by 1.5 inches.

Find the area of each piece of the composite figure.

The area of the top rectangle is

A = 4 in.(2 in.) = 8 in2.

The area of the middle rectangle is

A = 2 in.( in.) = in2.
The area of the bottom rectangle is

A = 4 in.( in.) = in2.
The total area of the figure is in2.

The area of the middle rectangle is

A = 2 in.( 3 in.) =  6 in2.

The area of the bottom rectangle is

A = 4 in.( 1.5 in.) =  6 in2.

The total area of the figure is  20 in2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step-by-step explanation:in this question the middle one would be A=2+(3in.)=6.2

then the bottom would be A=4in(1.5)=6.2 so the total is 20 in

hope it helps

the answer will be

step-by-step explanation:

descending order means to order the polynomials from the term with the largest exponent to the term with the smallest exponent.  

therefore, the correct answer is d.
