what is the area of the composite figure in square units? with 5 square units tall 5 wide and 4 tall

To find the area of a composite figure, we need to add up all the individual areas of each shape that make up the figure.

In this case, the composite figure consists of two rectangles.

The first rectangle has dimensions 5 units tall and 5 units wide. The area of this rectangle is 5 units x 5 units = 25 square units.

The second rectangle has dimensions 4 units tall and 5 units wide. The area of this rectangle is 4 units x 5 units = 20 square units.

Therefore, the total area of the composite figure is 25 square units + 20 square units = 45 square units.
