15 ft^2
21 ft^2
27 ft^2
24 ft^2
To find the area of the composite figure, we need to break it down into smaller shapes and find the area of each shape separately before adding them up.
From the image, we can see that the composite figure consists of a rectangle and a right triangle.
Area of rectangle = length * width = 6 ft * 3 ft = 18 ft^2
Area of right triangle = 1/2 * base * height = 3 ft * 3 ft * 1/2 = 4.5 ft^2
Total area of the composite figure = Area of rectangle + Area of right triangle
= 18 ft^2 + 4.5 ft^2
= 22.5 ft^2
Therefore, the correct answer is not provided, but 22.5 ft^2.
