Well, what I would do is divide it into two shapes. Cut off the bottom part to make two separate quadrilaterals, and you'd have a square with sides of x. So the area would be x^2. Then, for the remaining piece (rectangle), add the x from the square bit to 5 for one side, and the other side would be x. So you'd have 5x * x, which equals 5x^2. Add the two separate area's together to get the total area, which would give you 6x^2. Hope that helped! :)
