Answer:
[tex]42 \: {units}^{2} [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
First divide the shape into triangle and a rectangle
then find the Area of the triangle and the rectangle separately
Area of the rectangle
[tex]area = l \times b \\ = 12 \times 1 \\ = 12 \: \: {units}^{2} [/tex]
Area of the triangle
[tex]area = \frac{1}{2} \times bh \\ = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 12 \\ = \frac{60}{2} \\ = 30 \: \: {units}^{2} [/tex]
Area of the shape
[tex]12 + 30 = 42 \: {units}^{2} [/tex]
