Answer 2

ANSWER


`35 \: {cm}^(2)`
Step-by-step explanation

The figure described in the question is the one in the attachment.

The area of the square portion is


`= {l}^(2)`
where
`l` is the length of the sides of the square.

This implies the area of the square portion is


`= {5}^(2)`


`= 25 \: {cm}^(2)`

The area of the triangular portion is


`= (1)/(2) * base * height`

The base of the triangle is 5 units and the heigh is 4 units.

This implies that, area of the triangle is


`= (1)/(2) * 5 * 4`


`= 10 \: {cm}^(2)`

Putting the two areas together, we obtain,

Area of figure to be


`= 25 + 10`


`= 35 {cm}^(2)`
