[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the area of the composite figure, we first need to calculate the area of each individual shape separately, then add them together.

Area of the rectangle = length x width
= 3 miles x 6 miles
= 18 square miles

Area of the triangle = 1/2 x base x height
= 1/2 x 1 mile x 7 miles
= 3.5 square miles

Total area of the composite figure = 18 square miles + 3.5 square miles
= 21.5 square miles

Therefore, the closest option to the area of the composite figure is 21 square miles.
