Check the picture below.

so the polygon is really just a 5x7 rectangle with a triangle that has a base of 7 units(vertically) and a height of 2 units.


\stackrel{\textit{\LARGE Areas}}{\stackrel{rectangle}{(5)(7)}~~ + ~~\stackrel{triangle}{\cfrac{1}{2}(7)(2)}}\implies 35~~ + ~~7\implies \text{\LARGE 42}~units^2
