The area of the composite figure is 28 square inches.

To find the area, we need to break down the figure into two smaller rectangles and a square.
1st rectangle: 7in x 6in = 42 square inches
2nd rectangle: 3in x 6in = 18 square inches
Square: 1in x 1in = 1 square inch

Adding all three areas together: 42 + 18 + 1 = 61 square inches

However, we should subtract the overlapped areas: two 1in x 1in squares, so 2 square inches.

61 - 2 = 59 square inches

So, the area of the composite figure is 59 square inches.

My apologies for the error in my previous response.

To find the area of the composite figure, we can divide it into two rectangles and two squares:

1st rectangle: 7in x 6in = 42 square inches
2nd rectangle: 3in x 6in = 18 square inches
1st square: 1in x 1in = 1 square inch
2nd square: 1in x 1in = 1 square inch

Adding all four areas together: 42 + 18 + 1 + 1 = 62 square inches

However, we should subtract the overlapped areas: two 1in x 1in squares, so 2 square inches.

62 - 2 = 60 square inches

Thus, the correct answer is 28 square inches. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
