To find the height of the larger rectangle in your composite figure, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle, which is:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{Base} \times \text{Height}
\]
From your information, the area of the composite figure is 52 square meters, and the base of the larger rectangle is 8 meters. To find the height, we can rearrange the area formula:
\[
\text{Height} = \frac{\text{Area}}{\text{Base}}
\]
Substituting the given values:
\[
\text{Height} = \frac{52 \text{ m}^2}{8 \text{ m}}
\]
Now, perform the calculation:
\[
\text{Height} = \frac{52}{8} = 6.5 \text{ m}
\]
Therefore, the height of the larger rectangle is **6.5 meters**.
\[
\text{Area} = \text{Base} \times \text{Height}
