Question 952664: A composite figure is made up of a square and an isosceles right triangle. The sides of the square and the legs of the triangle measure 9 inches. What is the area of the composite figure? Answer by josgarithmetic(39628) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The description does not work. Either the triangle is isosceles, or equilateral, or scalene, or obtuse. The description cannot agree with the legs being 9 unit each and base length also be 9 units for isosceles triangle.
If right angled isosceles triangle, then the two legs of 9 unit each must make the base side . This forces the edge length of the square part to also be but they were given as 9 unit.
