Answer:

Explanation:

Area of the Rectangle: 17 *22=374

Area of a triangle:

  • We know that one side is 19cm
  • For the other side, the length is 22cm minus the 10cm, which gets us 12 cm
  • The area of Triangle is (1/2)*19*12=114

Total Area: area of rectangle + area of triangle = 114+374=488

I hope that helps!
