Answer:

Area = 18

Explanation:

Area = length x width

but oops there isn’t a length so we must use Pythagorean theorem

Pythagorean theorem: a^2 + b^2 = c^2 in this case we’re looking for side a

a^2 + 4^2 = 5^2

a^2 + 16 = 25

a^2 = 25 - 16

a^2 = 9

Then square root 9 = 3

so the length is 3

Then we can start solving for area!

Area = length x width

Area = 3 x 4

Area = 12

Now for the triangle

Area = 1/2 bh

Area = 1/2 (4)(3)

Area = 1/2 12

Area = 6

6 + 12 = 18
