To find the area of the composite figure, we need to find the area of each rectangle and then add them together.
Area of the larger rectangle = length x width
Area = 5 x 4 = 20
Area of the smaller rectangle = length x width
Area = 2 x 3 = 6
Total area of the composite figure = 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.
se 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.
