The composite C value for the given drainage area for a 10-year storm recurrence interval is 0.45. Solution: Calculate composite C by using the following equation: C = (C₁A₁ + C₂A₂+ C₃A₃) / (A₁ + A₂+ A₃) C = [(0.25 acres x 0.49) + (0.25 acres x 0.22) + (0.10 acres x 0.95)]/ (0.25+0.25+0.10) C = 0.45
