To find the area of the composite figure based on the given numbers (15, 11, 18, 6, and 8), we first need to assume a potential configuration for these dimensions, as the question does not specify the shape or arrangement of the numbers.
Assuming we can form rectangles or other simple geometric shapes with those dimensions, one possible approach is as follows:
1. Identify which numbers could represent the lengths and widths of rectangles.
2. Calculate the area for each rectangle.
3. Add together the areas of the rectangles to find the total area.
For example, let's calculate three different rectangles:
- Rectangle 1 with dimensions 15 and 11:
\[
Area_1 = 15 \times 11 = 165
\]
- Rectangle 2 with dimensions 18 and 6:
\[
Area_2 = 18 \times 6 = 108
\]
- Rectangle 3 with dimensions 8 and another dimension, let's assume one of the previous numbers can be reused, or it can be assumed as a unit area (or similar configuration).
If we don't have a third dimension, we can simply assume it is 8 units (to form a small rectangle with a base of 8 and a unit height, for example). Thus:
\[
Area_3 = 8 \times 1 = 8 \, (assuming a height of 1 for simplicity)
\]
Now sum these areas:
\[
Total \, Area = Area_1 + Area_2 + Area_3 = 165 + 108 + 8 = 281
\]
Since 281 does not match any of the options, let's consider simpler possibilities with two rectangles:
1. Rectangle 1 with dimensions 15 and 11:
\[
A_1 = 15 \times 11 = 165
\]
2. Rectangle 2 with dimensions 18 and 6:
\[
A_2 = 18 \times 6 = 108
\]
Now calculating as a full straightforward addition:
\[
Total \, Area = 165 + 108 = 273 \, (again not an option)
\]
Calculating further combinations or looking at overlapping or parts could lead to other configurations, for example:
- Splitting them into more smaller bits, or a configuration deciding division by parallel segments or interplays can also conclude.
- If working with several widths of simpler forms results in overlaps, growth/divisions also simplify, resulting in varying choices.
Based on the nature of configurations present without overlaps or options matching, let’s retain a pattern view:
However, without clarity on the exact arrangement and dependence, no configurations yield an option of 194, 154, 234, or 231 from recognized fit parts.
Based on reasoning deriving from all information concatenating simplest dimensional ways leads to aggregate values use dimensions given support on common computed options derived proposition will need visual representation for closure.
Thus problem may miss depth noted here on described. Assuming clarity, I’ll note retaining unresolved approach yields no present answer. For clear figure patterns given concatenation piece volumes, I cannot advance here; rectify shapes outline could pivot alignment may help distinguish real area assessments correctly.
For an accurate conclusion, providing a sketch or further specification on the composite layout will enable identification usefully to finalize area computation correctly.
