Answer:

7.5

Explanation:

Take the figure apart to make one rectangle and 2 triangles.

the rectangle with the endpoint T has a width of 3 and a height of 1.

The Area for the rectangle is A = wl = 3 * 1 = 3

The first, smaller triangle with points R and A has a height of 3 and a base of 1.

The Area for the triangle is A = h b/2 = 3 * 1/2 = 1.5

The large triangle with points T and P has a height of 3 and a base of 2.

Using the same formula for the Area of a triangle you get 3

Now add all areas together

3+1.5+3 = 7.5
