Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a rectangle that extends to a smaller rectangle at the bottom left. The length of the bottom rectangle is much lesser on the right. The dimensions are as follows: The larger rectangle shows the right side as 4, truncated bottom length as 3, and left side end to end as 5 including the extended rectangle. The smaller rectangle shows the bottom length as 2. There are 5 right angled symbols to show the perpendicular lines of the two rectangles.
What is the area of the composite figure in square units?(1 point) the answers arent 26 24 or 20 so dont say them or god so help me
To find the area of the composite figure, we first need to find the area of each individual rectangle and then add them together.
Area of the larger rectangle = length * width
Area = 5 * 4 = 20 square units
Area of the smaller rectangle = length * width
Area = 2 * 3 = 6 square units
Total area of the composite figure = Area of larger rectangle + Area of smaller rectangle
Total area = 20 + 6 = 26 square units
Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 26 square units.
