Answer:

Total Area = 26.75

Explanation:

Remark

The hardest triangle to see is the top one. So we'll start with it.

It has a vertical leg of 3.5 and a horizontal one of 2 + 2 + 5 = 9

Top Triangle Area

Area = 1/2 base * height

Area = 1/2 * 9 * 3.5

Area = 15.75

Triangle on the lower left

Area = 1/2 * 2 * 2

Area = 2

Square on lower middle

Area = 2*2

Area = 4

Triangle on lower right area

Area = 1/2 * 2 * 5

Area = 5

Total Area

Total Area = 5 + 4 + 2 + 15.75

Total Area = 26.75
