The area of the given composite figure would be = 8.
How to calculate the area of the composite figure?
To calculate the area of the composite figure, the formula for area of a trapezoid should be used and its givne below as follows:
Area of a trapezoid = ½(a+b)h
where;
a = 2
b= 6
h = 2
Area = ½×(2+6)×2
= 2+6/2×2
= 8/2×2
= 4×2
= 8
Therefore, the area of the given composite figure would be = 4.
