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
