To find the area of the composite figure, we need to break it down into separate shapes and then add the areas together.
The composite figure appears to be made up of three shapes: a rectangle, a triangle, and a trapezoid.
Rectangle:
Area = length x width
Area = 5 x 2 = 10 square units
Triangle:
Area = 1/2 x base x height
Area = 1/2 x 3 x 2 = 3 square units
Trapezoid:
Area = 1/2 x (base1 + base2) x height
Area = 1/2 x (3 + 4) x 2 = 1/2 x 7 x 2 = 7 square units
Total area of the composite figure:
10 (rectangle) + 3 (triangle) + 7 (trapezoid) = 20 square units
Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 20 square units.
