To find the area of the composite figure, we need to break it down into simpler shapes and find the areas of those shapes separately.
The composite figure appears to be made up of a rectangle and a triangle.
First, let's find the area of the rectangle:
A = length x width
A = 5 x 3
A = 15 square units
Next, let's find the area of the triangle:
A = (base x height) / 2
A = (2 x 4) / 2
A = 8 / 2
A = 4 square units
Now, add the areas of the rectangle and triangle to find the total area of the composite figure:
Total area = 15 + 4
Total area = 19 square units
Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 19 square units.
