To find the area of the composite figure, we need to find the area of each individual rectangle and then add them together.
The larger rectangle has a length of 5 units and a width of 4 units. The area of the larger rectangle is 5 x 4 = 20 square units.
The smaller rectangle has a length of 3 units and a width of 2 units. The area of the smaller rectangle is 3 x 2 = 6 square units.
To find the area of the composite figure, we add the areas of the two rectangles together: 20 + 6 = 26 square units.
Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 26 square units.
