Hi!

The area of the entire figure is 76 units squared.

NOTE: This question has two different shapes: a rectangle, and a triangle.

Rectangle Formula:

Length * Width = Area


LW=A

Triangle Formula

(Base * Height) / 2 = Area


\cfrac{bh}{2}=A

Let's first get the rectangle's area:


LW=A


8*7=A


56=A

The area of the rectangle is 56.

Now, for the top triangle:


\cfrac{bh}{2} =A


\cfrac{8*2}{2} =A


8=A

The area of the top triangle is 8.

Now, for the bottom triangle.


\cfrac{bh}{2} =A


\cfrac{8*3}{2} =A


12=A

The area of the bottom triangle is 12.

Now, add them all together:


56+8+12=76
