Answer:

EXACT: 2.7√1.71 + 4.05 units²

APPROX: 3.5307 + 4.05 = 7.58 units²

Explanation:

See the attached help image

Total A = 2 triangles + 1 trapezoid

Triangles

Find missing side:

2.7² + b² = 3²

b² = 3² - 2.7²

b = √1.71

Find area of triangles:

A = bh/2

A = b(2.7)/2

A = √1.71(2.7)/2
A = 1.35√1.71 units²

Trapezoid

A = (a + b)(h)/2

A = ((3-√1.71) + √1.71)(2.7)/2

A = (3)(2.7)/2

A = 4.05 units²

Total

2(1.35√1.71) + 1(4.05)

EXACT: 2.7√1.71 + 4.05 units²

APPROX: 3.5307 + 4.05 = 7.58 units²
