Answer:

19

Explanation:

The first thing is recognize that it is a rectangle and two triangles with given bases and heights.

So the first step is finding the area of both triangles, which you can do with the formula for the area of a triangle:

A = (BH)/2

Because the height is two, the area is going to be equal to the base.

The sum of the two triangles is 7.66.

Next you want to find the area of the rectangle, you can do so using the formula:

A = BH

A = 6(2)

The area of the rectangle is 13.

Find the sum of the areas of the three shapes.

3.30 + 4.36 + 12 = 19.66
