Answer:

The answer to your question is 643 cm²

Explanation:

Data

Rectangle

length = 36 cm

width = 18 cm

Triangle

base = 5 cm

height = 2 cm

Process

1.- Find the area of the triangle

Area = length x width

Area = 36 x 18

Area = 648 cm²

2.- Find the area of the triangle

Area = base x height/ 2

Area = 5 x 2 / 2

Area = 5 cm²

3.- Find the remaining area

Remaining area = rectangle's area - triangle's area

Remaining area = 648 - 5

Remaining area = 643 cm²
