Solve the following problem using what you know about composite figures. What is the area of the figure?
6

2
6
8
A. 30 square units
B. 48 square units
C. 36 square units
D. 24 square units
To find the area of the figure, we need to split it into two rectangles and one triangle.
Rectangle 1: 6 x 2 = 12 square units
Rectangle 2: 3 x 6 = 18 square units
Triangle: 6 x 2 x 0.5 = 6 square units
Total area = 12 + 18 + 6 = 36 square units
Therefore, the area of the figure is 36 square units.
C. 36 square units
