Answer:
45.5 u²
Step-by-step explanation:
first we need to find the base of the triangle so we subtract 8-5=3, now since its 2 triangles we divide by 2 and we get 1.5 for each base of the triangles
area for a triangle: A=bh/2
A=(1.5)(7)/2
since its 2 triangles then multiply by 2
A= 10.5 u²
area for a rectangle: A=bh
A=(7)(5)
A= 35 u²
35+10.5 = 45.5 u²
