Imagine Abigail and Emma are on a treasure hunt in a magical land. They come across a mysterious map that shows a treasure hidden under a shape that is a combination of a parallelogram and a trapezoid. The parallelogram part of the map has a base of 12 cm and a height of 8 cm, while the trapezoid part has bases of 6 cm and 10 cm with a height of 5 cm. Help Abigail and Emma calculate the area of this composite figure to find the treasure!

• 96 sq cm

• 72 sq cm

• 136 sq cm

• 50 sq cm

Answer explanation

To find the area of the composite figure, calculate the area of the parallelogram (12*8) and the trapezoid ((6+10)*5/2), then add them together (96 + 40 = 136 sq cm).
