Tikz - Draw rectangle with dashed one side and hatching on the others

Question

I need to a scheme like this one:

The problem is, I have no idea how to do the dashed line on top of rectangle and the hatching in the left side and in the bottom.

Is it possible with Tikz?

definitely possible, you just need someone motivated enough to do it.... it'd be great if you could get that person started — cmhughes, Apr 25 '16 at 15:24
You can use the patterns library by saying \usetikzlibrary{patterns}. Then you create a path with \pattern[pattern=north west lines] (x1,y1) -- (x2,y2) ... -- cycle which gets filled with the hatching. The dashed lines you simply create with \draw[dashed] (x1,y1) -- (x2,y2) -- ... Here (x,y) are the coordinates of the corners. Just try it and when you run into problems, edit your question to the specific problem. — JMP, Apr 25 '16 at 15:44

Here is a starting point for you. Start to modify it to your needs and if you run into problems, edit your question and comment under this answer, so I get a notification. Then I am going to help you further:

\documentclass[tikz, border=2mm]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{patterns}
%
\begin{document}
%
\begin{tikzpicture}
%
    \pattern[pattern=north east lines] (0,0)--(0,1)--(1,1)--(1,0)--cycle;
    \draw[dashed] (0,2) -- (1,2);
%
\end{tikzpicture}%

\end{document}

This could be a good starting point.

\documentclass{standalone}                                          

\usepackage{tikz}                                                   
\usetikzlibrary{patterns, decorations.pathreplacing, calc}          

\begin{document}                                                    

\renewcommand{\b}{10}                                               
\newcommand{\h}{5}                                                  
\renewcommand{\t}{.5}                                               

\begin{tikzpicture}                                                 
  \coordinate (O) at (0,0);                                         
  \coordinate (E) at (\b,0);                                        
  \coordinate (En) at (\b,\t);                                      
  \coordinate (One) at (\t,\t);                                     
  \coordinate (Ne) at (\t,\h);                                      
  \coordinate (N) at (0,\h);                                        
  \coordinate (NE) at (N -| E);                                     
  \draw[thick, pattern=north east lines] (O) -- (E) -- (En) -- (One) -- (Ne) -- (N) -- cycle;
  \draw[thick] (En) -- (NE);                                        
  \draw[dashed] (Ne) -- (NE);                                       
  \draw[thick, decorate, decoration={brace, raise=20pt}] (NE) -- (E) node[midway, right=30pt] {text};                                               
  \draw[thick, decorate, decoration={brace, raise=20pt, mirror}] (O) -- (E) node[midway, below=30pt] {text}; 
\end{tikzpicture}                                                   

\end{document}

Another starting point

\documentclass[tikz,border=2mm]{standalone}
\usetikzlibrary{patterns}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}
    \draw[pattern=north west lines] (0,0)-|(3,.5)-|(0.5,2)-|cycle;
    \draw[dashed] (0,2)--(3,2);
    \draw (3,0)--(3,2);
\end{tikzpicture}
\end{document}
