Solve the following problem using what you know about composite figures. What is the area of the figure?
(1 point)
48 square units
24 square units
30 square units
35 square units
To find the area of a composite figure, we need to break it down into simpler shapes. In this case, we can see that the figure is made up of a square with side length 6 and a triangle on top with base 6 and height 4.
The area of the square is side length squared, so the area of the square is 6 * 6 = 36 square units.
The area of the triangle is 1/2 * base * height, so the area of the triangle is 1/2 * 6 * 4 = 12 square units.
Adding the area of the square and the triangle together, we get 36 + 12 = 48 square units.
Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 48 square units.
Answer: 48 square units
