To find the area of the composite figure, we can break it down into two rectangles.
-
Larger Rectangle:
- Length = 4 units (right side)
- Height = 5 units (left side)
- Area of the larger rectangle = Length × Height = 4 × 5 = 20 square units.
-
Smaller Rectangle:
- Length = 2 units (bottom length)
- Height = 3 units (height as indicated, with the total height being 5)
- Area of the smaller rectangle = Length × Height = 2 × 3 = 6 square units.
Now, we need to combine the areas of the two rectangles to find the total area of the composite figure:
- Total Area = Area of larger rectangle + Area of smaller rectangle
- Total Area = 20 + 6 = 26 square units.
Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 26 square units.
