To calculate the area of the composite figure, we need to break it down into smaller, more easily calculated shapes.

First, let's break down the composite figure into a rectangle and a triangle.

The rectangle has a base of 4 units and a height of 6 units. Therefore, the area of the rectangle is 4 x 6 = 24 square units.

The triangle has a base of 4 units and a height of 5 units. Therefore, the area of the triangle is 0.5 x 4 x 5 = 10 square units.

Now, add the areas of the rectangle and triangle together:

24 + 10 = 34 square units

So, the area of the composite figure is 34 square units.
