To solve the problems in the worksheet, we need to calculate the areas of various regular polygons and composite figures. Let's go through each problem step by step.

---

Problem 1: Rectangle


The given figure is a rectangle with dimensions:
- Length = 10.9 m
- Width = 7.5 m

The area of a rectangle is given by:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width}
\]
\[
\text{Area} = 10.9 \, \text{m} \times 7.5 \, \text{m} = 81.75 \, \text{m}^2
\]

Answer for Problem 1:
\[
\boxed{81.75 \, \text{m}^2}
\]

Problem 2: Regular Pentagon


The given figure is a regular pentagon with:
- Side length = 13.2 yd
- Apothem = 3.5 yd

The area of a regular polygon is given by:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Perimeter} \times \text{Apothem}
\]
For a pentagon, the perimeter is:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 5 \times \text{Side length} = 5 \times 13.2 \, \text{yd} = 66 \, \text{yd}
\]
Thus, the area is:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 66 \, \text{yd} \times 3.5 \, \text{yd} = 33 \, \text{yd} \times 3.5 \, \text{yd} = 115.5 \, \text{yd}^2
\]

Answer for Problem 2:
\[
\boxed{115.5 \, \text{yd}^2}
\]

---

Problem 3: Regular Hexagon


The given figure is a regular hexagon with:
- Side length = 12 cm
- Apothem = \(5\sqrt{3} \, \text{cm}\)

The area of a regular polygon is given by:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Perimeter} \times \text{Apothem}
\]
For a hexagon, the perimeter is:
\[
\text{Perimeter} = 6 \times \text{Side length} = 6 \times 12 \, \text{cm} = 72 \, \text{cm}
\]
Thus, the area is:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 72 \, \text{cm} \times 5\sqrt{3} \, \text{cm} = 36 \, \text{cm} \times 5\sqrt{3} \, \text{cm} = 180\sqrt{3} \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Answer for Problem 3:
\[
\boxed{180\sqrt{3} \, \text{cm}^2}
\]

Problem 4: Triangle


The given figure is a triangle with:
- Base = 22 in
- Height = 16 in

The area of a triangle is given by:
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height}
\]
\[
\text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times 22 \, \text{in} \times 16 \, \text{in} = 11 \, \text{in} \times 16 \, \text{in} = 176 \, \text{in}^2
\]

Answer for Problem 4:
\[
\boxed{176 \, \text{in}^2}
\]

Problem 5: Composite Figure (Rectangle + Semi-circle)


The given figure consists of a rectangle and a semi-circle:
- Rectangle dimensions: Length = 32 ft, Width = 18 ft
- Semi-circle diameter = 18 ft (same as the width of the rectangle)

#### Step 1: Area of the rectangle
\[
\text{Area}_{\text{rectangle}} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} = 32 \, \text{ft} \times 18 \, \text{ft} = 576 \, \text{ft}^2
\]

#### Step 2: Area of the semi-circle
The radius of the semi-circle is:
\[
r = \frac{\text{Diameter}}{2} = \frac{18 \, \text{ft}}{2} = 9 \, \text{ft}
\]
The area of a full circle is:
\[
\text{Area}_{\text{circle}} = \pi r^2 = \pi (9 \, \text{ft})^2 = 81\pi \, \text{ft}^2
\]
The area of the semi-circle is half of this:
\[
\text{Area}_{\text{semi-circle}} = \frac{1}{2} \times 81\pi \, \text{ft}^2 = 40.5\pi \, \text{ft}^2
\]

#### Step 3: Total area
\[
\text{Total Area} = \text{Area}_{\text{rectangle}} + \text{Area}_{\text{semi-circle}} = 576 \, \text{ft}^2 + 40.5\pi \, \text{ft}^2
\]

Answer for Problem 5:
\[
\boxed{576 + 40.5\pi \, \text{ft}^2}
\]

Problem 6: Trapezoid


The given figure is a trapezoid with:
- Bases: \(b_1 = 9 \, \text{mm}\), \(b_2 = 9 \, \text{mm}\) (both bases are equal, so it's actually a parallelogram)
- Height = 12 mm

The area of a trapezoid (or parallelogram) is given by:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{Base} \times \text{Height}
\]
\[
\text{Area} = 9 \, \text{mm} \times 12 \, \text{mm} = 108 \, \text{mm}^2
\]

Answer for Problem 6:
\[
\boxed{108 \, \text{mm}^2}
\]

Problem 7: Composite Figure (Rectangle + Triangle)


The given figure consists of a rectangle and a triangle:
- Rectangle dimensions: Length = 10 km, Width = 6 km
- Triangle base = 4.8 km, Height = 6 km (same as the width of the rectangle)

#### Step 1: Area of the rectangle
\[
\text{Area}_{\text{rectangle}} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} = 10 \, \text{km} \times 6 \, \text{km} = 60 \, \text{km}^2
\]

#### Step 2: Area of the triangle
\[
\text{Area}_{\text{triangle}} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 4.8 \, \text{km} \times 6 \, \text{km} = 2.4 \, \text{km} \times 6 \, \text{km} = 14.4 \, \text{km}^2
\]

#### Step 3: Total area
\[
\text{Total Area} = \text{Area}_{\text{rectangle}} + \text{Area}_{\text{triangle}} = 60 \, \text{km}^2 + 14.4 \, \text{km}^2 = 74.4 \, \text{km}^2
\]

Answer for Problem 7:
\[
\boxed{74.4 \, \text{km}^2}
\]

Problem 8: Composite Figure (Square - Triangle)


The given figure consists of a square with a triangle removed:
- Square side length = 16 cm
- Triangle base = 11.5 cm, Height = 8.5 cm

#### Step 1: Area of the square
\[
\text{Area}_{\text{square}} = \text{Side}^2 = 16 \, \text{cm} \times 16 \, \text{cm} = 256 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

#### Step 2: Area of the triangle
\[
\text{Area}_{\text{triangle}} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{Base} \times \text{Height} = \frac{1}{2} \times 11.5 \, \text{cm} \times 8.5 \, \text{cm} = 5.75 \, \text{cm} \times 8.5 \, \text{cm} = 48.875 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

#### Step 3: Total area
\[
\text{Total Area} = \text{Area}_{\text{square}} - \text{Area}_{\text{triangle}} = 256 \, \text{cm}^2 - 48.875 \, \text{cm}^2 = 207.125 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

Answer for Problem 8:
\[
\boxed{207.125 \, \text{cm}^2}
\]
