To find the area of the composite figure, we need to break it down into smaller, simpler shapes and then add their areas together.
First, we have a rectangle with dimensions 4 units by 5 units. The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its length by its width, so the area of the rectangle is 4 * 5 = 20 square units.
Next, we have a triangle with a base of 3 units and a height of 2 units. The area of a triangle is calculated by multiplying the base by the height and then dividing by 2, so the area of the triangle is (3 * 2) / 2 = 3 square units.
Therefore, the total area of the composite figure is 20 (rectangle) + 3 (triangle) = 23 square units.
