Answer:

28.5 units²

Explanation:

You are correct.

You divided the figure into a square, a rectangle and a triangle.

You can also just divide into a rectangle and a triangle as I did below, and there are other ways of dividing the figure to find the area.

Bottom rectangle: 8 units by 3 units

Top triangle: base = height = 3 units

total area = area of rectangle + area of triangle

total area = length × width + base × height / 2

total area = 8 units × 3 units + 3 units × 3 units / 2

total area = 24 units² + 4.5 units²

total area = 28.5 units²
