Identify the area of the composite shape.
71 cm squared
98 cm squared
34 cm squared
56 cm squared

Answer:
Option (1)
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the composite figure ABCDEFGH = Area of rectangle ABGH - Area of rectangle CDEF
Area of rectangle ABGH = Length × Width
= 14 × 7
= 98 cm²
Area of rectangle CDEF = 9 × (7 - 4)
= 27 cm²
Area of the composite figure = 98 - 27
= 71 cm²
Option (1) is the correct option.
