Answer:
21.5m^2
Explanation:
Start by finding the area of the triangle including the rectangle.
The bottom side equals 7m and the other side equals 9m.
To find the area of the triangle, you multiply the base by the height, then divide by 2: (bh)÷2
(7*9)÷2=63/2m^2 or 31.5m^2
Now you can find the area of just the shaded region. To do this, you will want to find the area of the rectangle then subtract it from the area of the triangle.
To find the area of the rectangle, multiply the length by width.
2*5=10m^2
Now you can subtract the areas.
31.5-10=21.5m^2
