What is the area of this figure? Enter your answer in the box.

mm²
Composite figure composed of a a right triangle with a base of 3 mm and a height of 4 mm, and two rectangles, one with side lengths of 3mm and 4mm, the other with side lengths of 1 mm and 6 mm.

18 mm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, I do not think the person above me has the correct answer.

Okay, so I am not very good at explaining things but I will try. When finding the area of a composite figure, you add Area A + Area B.

So for this equation, figure one has a length of 4mm and a width of 3mm. Remember when we are finding the area of a shape, we multiply Length times Width. So, figure one has an area of twelve. The Same applies to figure two. Figure two has a length of 1mm and a width of 6mm, we multiply one by six and get six. Now we add the area of the twelve and six and we get 18mm²

I understand that my explaining skills suck, so I will show it in an easier way

Area A = 4mm x 3mm

Area A = 12mm

Area B = 1mm x 6mm

Area B = 6mm

Area A + Area B = Total Area

12mm + 6mm = 18mm²

So, 18mm² will be your answer.

I hope this helps.

Sorry if it isn't helpful or correct.
