To solve this we will divide the given composite figure into three figures. The three figures will be 2 squares and 1 rectangle. Let's find their areas and add them!
- Side 3 metre
<em>Thus, The area of 1st square is 9m²...</em>
- The area of second square will be also 9m², because the sides of both squares are equal.
- Length = 6m
- Breadth = 7+3=10m
<em>Thus, The area of rectangle is 30m²....</em>
- Now, Add area of all the figures to get the total area.
