Answer: 12.5 sq units
Explanation:
Make two triangles (big and small triangle) and one rectangle. ( kinda like what's in the pic)
Area of big triangle:
b = 3 h = 3
1/2 x 3 x 3 = 4.5 sq units
Area of small triangle:
b = 2 h = 2
1/2 x 2 x 2 = 2 sq units
Area of rectangle:
l = 3 w = 2
3 x 2 = 6 sq units
Area of the figure: A. of rect. + A. of s. tri. + A. b. tri.
6 + 2 + 4.5 = 12.5 sq units
