To find the area of the composite figure, we need to break it down into simpler shapes and then add up their areas.

First, let's identify the simpler shapes within the composite figure:
- Rectangle with length 13 and width 8
- Rectangle with length 10 and width 10
- Triangle with base 10 and height 11

Now, we can calculate the area of each shape:
- Area of the first rectangle = length * width = 13 * 8 = 104 square units
- Area of the second rectangle = length * width = 10 * 10 = 100 square units
- Area of the triangle = 0.5 * base * height = 0.5 * 10 * 11 = 55 square units

Finally, add up the areas of the three shapes:
104 (rectangle 1) + 100 (rectangle 2) + 55 (triangle) = 259 square units

Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 259 square units.
