Answer:
Area of the composite figure = 42 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
Composite area of the given figure = Area of the rectangle + Area of the right triangle
Area of the rectangle = Length × Width
= 6 × 5
= 30 in²
Area of the right triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}(\text{Base})(\text{Height})[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{1}{2}(4)(6)[/tex]
= 12 in²
Area of the composite figure = 30 + 12
= 42 in²
