its right because

6 x 5 is the area of the leftmost rectangle

4 x 5 is the area of the bottom rectangle

3 x 5 is the area of the rightmost rectangle

5 x 5 is the area of the slanted square on the top

the last term is the area of the trapezoid, which is (base1 + base2) x height /2

they split the trapezoid thing into a square and a triangle, which gets you the same answer

they multiplied it by 2 because there are 2 trapezoids
