Answer:
19 cm²
Explanation:
→ Work out the area of the rectangle
1 × 7 = 7
→ State the formula for the area of the triangle
0.5 × base × height
→ Find the base and height
Base = 3 and height = 8
→ Substitute values into formula
0.5 × 3 × 8 = 12
→ Add this total to the rectangle formula
12 + 7 = 19 cm²
