Answer:

Explanation:

As you can see from the attached picture below, the only figure that is equal to 5 whole units would be the final triangle. That is because it has 2 whole units in the middle, two half units in the top which equal 1 whole unit. And 2 units in each side corner which when combined would equal 2 whole units making it a total of 5. The rest of the shapes either hold more than 5 or less than 5 units. In the picture below, the top 3 shapes hold more than 5 units while the bottom two triangles hold less than 5.
