To find the area of the composite figure, we need to split it into simpler shapes and then find the area of each shape and add them.
First, we split the figure into two parts, a rectangle and a right-angled triangle.
The rectangle has a length of 3 and a width of 4, so its area is 3 x 4 = 12 square units.
The right-angled triangle has a base of 2 and a height of 3, so its area is 1/2 x base x height = 1/2 x 2 x 3 = 3 square units.
Adding the areas of the rectangle and the triangle, we get:
12 + 3 = 15 square units
Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 15 square units.
