Answer:

Find the area of each triangle and then add it up. As you are aware, to find the area of a triangle the equation is B times Height divided by 2. And to make it easier do the top left triangle and the top right triangle, add them together and then divide that by 2.

Explanation:

3 time 5 equals 15 divided by 2 equals 7.5

5 times 8 equals 40 divided by 2 equals 20

7.5 plus 20 equals 27.5

27.5 times 2 equals 55

therefor your answer should be 55m
