Geometric Sailboat
Geometric Sailboat: a composite plane figure made of a trapezoid with bases 7.6 and 4.6 cm and height 2.4 cm, joined with a triangle with base 4.2 cm and height 4.6 cm. It is a classic primary school geometry problem (“Additive Figures”). The net area is 24.3 cm² and the total perimeter is 23.88 cm.

Area of each basic shape before the Boolean composition.
How to find the area
Area formula: A = ½·(B+b)·h₁ + ½·b_v·h₂
Split the figure into basic shapes, find each area, add the joined parts and subtract the cut-outs: A = 14.64 + 9.66 = 24.3 cm².
