Answer 3

To find the area of the composite figure, we need to split it into two separate shapes: a rectangle and a triangle.

Rectangle:
Length = 5.5 ft
Width = 2.8 ft
Area = Length x Width = 5.5 ft x 2.8 ft = 15.4 ft^2

Triangle:
Base = 4.2 ft
Height = 2.7 ft
Area = 0.5 x Base x Height = 0.5 x 4.2 ft x 2.7 ft = 5.67 ft^2

Total area of the composite figure = 15.4 ft^2 + 5.67 ft^2 = 21.07 ft^2

So, none of the given responses are correct. The actual area is 21.07 ft^2.
