Answer:

Hi answer: 41

What I do for these is do the shapes separately and use the appropriate formulas! Then add them Up! So the easiest is the rectangle that would be 5 × 4 = 20 then the triangles would be 5 x 1 = 5 then ÷ by 2 = 2.5 but since there are two of those triangles we just multiply by 2 again so 2.5 × 2 = 5 for the last two triangles at the top it would be 4 × 4 = 16 then ÷ by 2 = 8 but since theres 2 triangles multiply by 2 so 8 × 2 = 16 now we add all of these numbers up so 20 + 5 + 16 = 41 Hope that helps!
