The composite figure is made up of a rectangle with dimensions 9in by 5in and a triangle with a base of 4in and a height of 7in.
The area of the rectangle is length x width = 9in x 5in = 45 square inches.
The area of the triangle is 1/2 x base x height = 0.5 x 4in x 7in = 14 square inches.
Therefore, the total area of the composite figure is 45 square inches + 14 square inches = 59 square inches.
