Answer 1

To solve for the area of the composite figure described, we need to break it down into its individual rectangular components and calculate the area of each, then sum them.

From your description, it sounds like you have:

1. **Rectangle 1**: Height = 6, Length = 2
- Area = height × length = 6 × 2 = 12 square units.

2. **Rectangle 2**: Height = 3, Length = 8 (as inferred from "3 oyher length 8")
- Area = height × length = 3 × 8 = 24 square units.

3. **Rectangle 3**: Height = 2, Base = 6 (this is possibly a mistake in “2 hight 6 base.” I will assume it means 2 height and base 6).
- Area = height × base = 2 × 6 = 12 square units.

Now add the areas of all three rectangles together:
- Total Area = Area of Rectangle 1 + Area of Rectangle 2 + Area of Rectangle 3
- Total Area = 12 + 24 + 12 = 48 square units.

Based on the calculations, **the area of the figure is 48 square units**. Therefore, the correct response is:

48 square units.
