To find the area of the composite figure, we need to break it down into smaller, simpler shapes and then add their areas together.
The composite figure is made up of a square with side length 5 units, a rectangle with sides 4 units and 3 units, and a triangle with a base of 3 units and a height of 2 units.
First, let's calculate the area of the square:
Area = side * side
Area = 5 * 5
Area = 25 square units
Next, let's calculate the area of the rectangle:
Area = length * width
Area = 4 * 3
Area = 12 square units
Finally, let's calculate the area of the triangle:
Area = 0.5 * base * height
Area = 0.5 * 3 * 2
Area = 3 square units
Now, let's add the areas of the square, rectangle, and triangle together:
Total area = 25 + 12 + 3
Total area = 40 square units
Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 40 square units.
