Use the image to answer the question. What is the area of the composite figure in square units?(1 point) square units
To find the area of the composite figure, we need to break it down into smaller, simpler shapes.
The composite figure consists of a rectangle and a triangular trapezoid.
Area of the rectangle = length x width = 5 units x 4 units = 20 square units
Area of the triangular trapezoid = 1/2 x base1 x height + 1/2 x base2 x height
= 1/2 x 4 units x 3 units + 1/2 x 5 units x 3 units
= 6 square units + 7.5 square units
= 13.5 square units
Total area of the composite figure = area of rectangle + area of triangular trapezoid
= 20 square units + 13.5 square units
= 33.5 square units
Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 33.5 square units.
