Answer:

12.25 cm^2

Explanation:

Draw a segment from the bottom of the 1.5-cm vertical side to the bottom side of the entire polygon.

Now you have two rectangles.

The left rectangle has dimensions 3.5 cm by 1.5 cm.

The right rectangle has length 5 cm - 1.5 cm = 3.5 cm and width 3.5 cm - 1.5 cm = 2 cm.

The total area is the sum of the areas of the two rectangles.

area of rectangle = length * width

total area = 3.5 cm * 1.5 cm + 3.5 cm * 2 cm

total area = 5.25 cm^2 + 7 cm^2

total area = 12.25 cm^2
