Solve the following problem using what you know about composite figures. What is the
area of the figure?
(1 point)
24 square units
36 square units
48 square units
30 square units
In order to find the area of a composite figure, we need to break it down into smaller, simpler shapes and then calculate the area of each shape separately.
For this figure, we can see that it is made up of a square with side length 6 units and a rectangle with dimensions 12 units by 6 units.
The area of the square is calculated as side length squared, so the area of the square is 6^2 = 36 square units.
The area of the rectangle is calculated as length multiplied by width, so the area of the rectangle is 12 * 6 = 72 square units.
Now, we add the areas of the square and rectangle together to find the total area of the composite figure:
36 + 72 = 108 square units.
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed in the given options. The area of the figure is 108 square units, which is not among the provided answer choices.
