Interactive practice questions

Consider the given shape.

The composite figure consists of two rectangles, labeled A and B. Rectangle A is placed on top of Rectangle B. Rectangle A is longer than Rectangle B. The length of rectangle A measures $9$ $cm$ . The width of rectangle A measures $1$ $cm$ . The width of rectangle B measures $5$ $cm$ . The overhanging parts of Rectangle A on each side of Rectangle B are $4$ $cm$ on the left and $2$ $cm$ on the right.

a

Determine the area of rectangle $B$B.

b

Hence calculate the total area of the composite shape.
