Answer: The answer is 300

Step-by-step explanation: The triangle formula = ( B · H) ÷ 2

B = 5 H = 12 5 · 12 = 60 ÷ 2 = 30

Since there is two triangles you will have two 30's.

The rectangle farthest to the right = 13 · 8 = 104

If you unfold the triangle it will line up perfectly with the 3 rectangles, so...

The middle rectangle = 5 · 8 = 40

The rectangle farthest to the right = 12×8 = 96

Add them all up

30 + 30 + 104 + 40 + 96 = 300

Hope this helped!
