The area of the composite figure is 16 square units.
To calculate the area of the composite figure, we first find the individual areas of the two rectangles:
- Area of the larger rectangle = 4 x 5 = 20 square units
- Area of the smaller rectangle = 2 x 3 = 6 square units
Then, we subtract the area of the smaller rectangle from the area of the larger rectangle to get the area of the composite figure:
20 - 6 = 16 square units
Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 16 square units.
Use 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.
