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.
