Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a rectangle that extends to a smaller rectangle at the bottom left. The length of the bottom rectangle is much lesser on the right. The dimensions are as follows: The larger rectangle shows the right side as 4, truncated bottom length as 3, and left side end to end as 5 including the extended rectangle. The smaller rectangle shows the bottom length as 2. There are 5 right angled symbols to show the perpendicular lines of the two rectangles.

To find the area of the composite figure, we can break it down into two rectangles.

  1. Larger Rectangle:

    • Length = 4 units (right side)
    • Height = 5 units (left side)
    • Area of the larger rectangle = Length × Height = 4 × 5 = 20 square units.
  2. 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.
