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.
