Explanation:
For this problem find the area for the three individual segment then add them together.
Step 1: Find area of the rectangle
formula for area of a rectangle: bxh
b-base
h-height
3x6=18
Step #2: Find area of the triangle
Formula for area of a triangle:
![(1)/(2) bxh](https://img.qammunity.org/2022/formulas/mathematics/college/8v6rlgd0veowbvgb2towvnbxhukwbueknb.png)
b-base
h-height
=1/2(9)=4.5
Step #3: Find the area of the triangles total
Because the two triangles have the same area you can just multiply the area of one of the triangles by 2
4.5x2=9
Step #4: Add all the areas together
rectangle+2 triangles
18+9=27
