21 square miles

Based on the image provided, the area of the composite figure can be calculated as follows:

1. The area of the rectangle (12 x 3) = 36 square miles
2. The area of the triangle (0.5 x 3 x 6) = 9 square miles

Adding these two areas together: 36 + 9 = 45 square miles

Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 45 square miles.

choose from the closest option

In that case, the closest option provided is 31 square miles.

Is it correct?
