Which shapes can the composite figure be divided into to find the area?
a rectangle and a triangle
a rectangle and a two triangles
a trapezoid and a rectangle
a trapezoid and two triangles

B. A rectangle and two triangles

Step-by-step explanation:

Any parallelogram can be divided into 2 triangles. Since a rectangle is a parallelogram, it can be divided into 2 triangles to find the total area.

Hope this helps!

call the larger triangle abc

then the smaller triangle cde is similar to abc (all angles are equal, aaa).  

ab is the side that is 36, and we wish to find de, the side corresponding to ab

area_cde = area_abc - area_cde --> area_abc / area_cde = 2

let x=length of de

ratio of areas = (ratio of sides)^2

+2+=+%2836%2fx%29%5e2+

+2+=+1296%2fx%5e2+

++x%5e2+=+1296%2f2+=+648+
