To find the area of each rectangle, you use the formula Area = base x height.

For the first rectangle: Area = 7 x 6 = 42

For the second rectangle: Area = 1 x 3 = 3

For the third rectangle: Area = 1 x 1 = 1

Therefore, the total area of the composite figure is the sum of the areas of the three rectangles: 42 + 3 + 1 = 46 square units.

To find the total area of the composite figure consisting of three rectangles, we need to add the areas of each individual rectangle.

Rectangle 1: 7 x 6 = 42 square units
Rectangle 2: 1 x 3 = 3 square units
Rectangle 3: 1 x 1 = 1 square unit

Total area = 42 + 3 + 1 = 46 square units

However, when converted to square miles, the answer might be different. It's important to know the conversion factor from square units to square miles. Assuming 1 square mile is equivalent to 640 acres, we can perform the conversion.

46 square units * (1 square mile / 640 square units) = 0.071875 square miles

Based on this conversion, none of the options provided match the calculated area. Would you like to try a different approach or provide additional information to determine the correct answer?

Dividing 42 by 2 gives us:

42 ÷ 2 = 21

So, the area of the composite figure is 21 square units.

The closest option provided is 21 square miles.

Adding 3 and 1 to the result:

21 + 3 + 1 = 25

So, the total area of the composite figure is 25 square units.

The correct option provided is 25 square miles.
