To find the area of the composite shape, we first need to find the individual areas of the small rectangle and the square.
Area of small rectangle = 3 ft x 1 ft = 3 square feet
Area of square = 4 ft x 4 ft = 16 square feet
Total area of the composite shape = Area of small rectangle + Area of square
Total area = 3 square feet + 16 square feet
Total area = 19 square feet
However, this total area is not equal to 57 square feet as provided in the question. This means there might be a mistake in the given measurements or in the calculation.
Composite shape: Small rectangle on top of a square. Measurements: 3ft. 3ft. 1 ft. 4ft. 6ft. The area of the shape(s) is 57 square feet
