Ok so you have to do the area of three different shapes then add them together so to find the area for the square and rectangle you need to find the sides to be equal so the square is already set you would do 6 times 5 and get 30 so how to do the rectangle is add 7 and 5 and get 12 so you would do 10 - 6 and get 4 and then do 12 times 4 which is 48 so, so far you have 78 for an area but you a triangle so you have a base of 3 because we found that the rectangle is 12 so 15-12 is 3 then we did the side for the rectangle which was 10-6 is 4 so for the triangle you would do 1/2 times 3 times 4 which would be 6 so 78 plus 6 and you would get 84 so A is your answer
