To calculate the total area of the composite figure in Fig. \ref{fig:composite_figure}, we can use a mathematical approach that involves breakingdown the composite figure into simpler shapes and then applying formulas to determine the areas of those shapes. The steps are as follows:

1. Calculating the area of each individual shape:

a. Rectangle 1: The area of Rectangle 1 can be found by multiplying its length (b) and width (c). So, the area of Rectangle 1 is `b*c`.

b. Rectangle 2: Similarly, we can find the area of Rectangle 2 by multiplying its length (a) and width (c). So, the area of Rectangle 2 is `a*c`.

c. Triangle: The area of the smaller triangle can be found using the formula `1/2 * base * height`, where `base` is the side opposite to the angle of the larger triangle (angle A) and `height` is the height of the smaller triangle. So, the area of the smaller triangle is `1/2 * b * √3/2`.

d. Total area of Rectangle 1: Since Rectangle 1 is along the x-axis and Rectangle 2 is along the y-axis, they are congruent, which means that their corresponding sides are in the same ratio. Therefore, the areas of Rectangle 1 and Rectangle 2 are in a ratio of `c/a`. So, the total area of Rectangle 1 is `b*c/a`.

e. Total area of Rectangle 2: Similarly, the total area of Rectangle 2 can be found by multiplying its length (a) and width (c/a).

f. Total area of the smaller triangle: The total area of the smaller triangle is the same as the area of Rectangle 1 minus the area of Rectangle 2. So, the total area of the smaller triangle is `b*c/a - a*c`.

g. Total area of the composite figure: To find the total area of the composite figure, we need to add together the areas of Rectangle 1, Rectangle 2, and the smaller triangle. So, the total area of the composite figure is `b*c + a*c - b*c/a + 1/2 * b * √3/2`

2. Demonstrating the underlying geometric principles:
For the calculation of the total area of the composite figure, we apply the concepts of congruence and similarity of shapes. We also use the Pythagorean theorem to find the area of the smaller triangle, and we apply the formula for the area of a triangle. These geometric concepts are essential in understanding the solution and ensure that the calculations are accurate.

The total area of the composite figure is calculated using the formula for the area of a triangle ($A_t = \frac12 b h_t$) and the formula for the area of a rectangle ($A_r = l w$). The base of the triangle is equal to the sum of the bases of the two rectangles, so $b = r + s$. The altitude of the triangle is equal to the difference between the heights of the two rectangles, so $h_t = y_s - y_r$. Substituting these values into the formula for the area of a triangle and a rectangle gives $A_t = \frac12 (r + s) (y_s - y_r)$ and $A_r = l w = \frac{l s}{2}$. Using these values, the total area of the composite figure is calculated as $A = A_t + A_r = \frac12 (r + s) (y_s - y_r) + \frac{l s}{2}$. 

The area of the triangle can be calculated using the formula for the base multiplication of a triangle ($b = \frac{h_t}{2}$). The altitude of the triangle is given by the formula for the half of the base subtracted from the height ($h_t = \frac{b}{2} - y_r$). Plugging in these values gives $A_t = \frac{b \left( \frac{b}{2} - y_r \right)}{2} = \frac{b \left( \frac{b}{2} - y_r \right)}{2b} = \frac{l s}{2}$. Therefore, the area of the triangle is equal to the area of the rectangle, $A_t = A_r = \frac{l s}{2}$.
