Gerard is calculating the area of a composite figure. The figure is made up of a square with side lengths of 6 centimeters (cm) and a triangle with a base of 6 cm and a height of 3.5 cm. Gerard multiplies 6 by 3.5 to get that the area of the figure is 21 cm2, which is not the correct area.

Which statement correctly describes how Gerard could have found the correct answer?

-He should have found the area of the square, 36 cm2, and added it to the area of the triangle, 27 cm2, to get 63 sq. cm.
-He should have added 6 to 3.5 to get 9.5 sq. cm.
-He should have multiplied 21 by 12 to get 10.5 sq. cm.
-He should have found the area of the square, 36 cm2, and added it to the area of the triangle, 10.5 cm2, to get 46.5 sq. cm.
