Answer 1

The answer will be the area of the given figure

It consists of two triangles

For the upper triangle : base = 5 , height = 4

so, the area of the upper triangle = 0.5 * base * height = 0.5 * 5 * 4 = 10 square foot

For the lower triangle :

base = 6 , height = 3

Area of the lower triangle = 0.5 * 6 * 3 = 9

So, the total area = 10 + 9 = 19 square foot

So, the answer will be = 19
