To find the area of a composite figure, you need to break it down into simpler shapes and find the area of each shape, then add them together.
In this case, the composite figure appears to be a combination of a rectangle and a triangle.
First, find the area of the rectangle:
Area of a rectangle = length x width
Area of rectangle = 6 x 4 = 24 square units
Next, find the area of the triangle:
Area of a triangle = 1/2 x base x height
Area of triangle = 1/2 x 6 x 2 = 6 square units
Now, add the areas of the rectangle and triangle together:
Total area = 24 + 6 = 30 square units
Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 30 square units.
Find the area of the composite figure.
