Answer:

= 197.5
cm^(2)

Explanation:

1) first split the shape into two shapes (a rectangle and trapezium)

2. find the area of the rectangle

10 x 6 = 60
cm^(2)

3. find the missing sides for the trapezium and substitute it into the formula for finding the area of trapezium

(
(a+b)/(2))xh

a=10

b= 15

h = 11 (17-6=11)

(
(10+5)/(2))x 11

this gives you 137.5
cm^(2)

4. add both the areas together

60
cm^(2) + 137.5
cm^(2) = 197.5
cm^(2)

5 so your final answer is 197.5
cm^(2)
