Answer 1

`\displaystyle 133\:square\:units`

Explanation:

`\displaystyle (1)/(2)hb = A, (1)/(2)bh = A, or\: (hb)/(2) = A`

For the two legs, no matter what you do, you can either take half of 19 [9½] and multiply it by 14, take half of 14 [7] and multiply it by 19, or you could multiply both 14 and 19 [266] then take of that.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
