Answer:

Explanation:

so first what you want to do is split the shape in to

Draw a line down where the 2 is.

you should have a rectangle and a triangle

then you find the area of the rectangle

Rectangle:

5 x 2 = 10m^2

After than you try to find the triangles area

the bottom of the triangle is 9m but since to split it in 2 you will now have 7m

multiple 5 times 7 and you will receive 35 then you divide that by 2 and you will have 17.5m^2

Add your two areas together and you will get 27.5m^2
