Calculate the area of the composite figure.
9 in
5 in
18 in
5 in
17 in

Let's split the figure first:

9 x 5 = 45(area of small rectangle on top)

18 - 5 = 14(height)

17 - 9 = 8(width)

14 x 8 = 112(area of rectangle in the middle nearly)

18 - 5 = 14(base)

5(base 1) + 14(base 2) = 19

17 - 9 = 8(height)

19 x 8 = 152

152 divided by 2( x 1/2) = 76(area of a trapezoid on the side)

Now let's add all the given areas:

45 + 112 + 76 = 233 in^2 is your answer.

aloha~! my name is zalgo and i am here to you out on this amazing day. to answer your question, yes, nonzero numbers can have a greatest common factor and that would be 1. still don't get it? let me considering every number is divisible by 1 and hence every number has 1 as a factor of theirs. so, if 2 nonzero numbers didn't share any gcf (greatest common factor), they would still have a factor in common and that would be 1.

i hope that this ! : p

(by the way, do you mind marking me as brainliest? i'd greatly appreciate it! mahalo! x3)

this is a good question! i’ll do some research and what i find, i’ll contact you asap when i have something! ✊
