The area of the rectangle within the composite shape can be found by subtracting the area of the triangle from the total area of the composite shape.
Total area = Area of rectangle + Area of triangle
40 = Area of rectangle + 10
Area of rectangle = 40 - 10
Area of rectangle = 30 square inches
So, the area of the rectangle within the composite shape is 30 square inches.
