Answer:
42 units^2
Step-by-step explanation:
we have a rectangle with sides measuring 7units and 5units, the area of the rectangle is found with the formula L x W,
area = 7 x 5 = 35 units^2
Then we have a rectangle with a base measuring 7 units and a height measuring 2 units, the area of the triangle is found with the formula A = 1/2 b x h
1/2 7 x 2 =
3.5 x 2 =
7 units^2
we add the two areas and we have the area of the complete figure
35 + 7 =
42 units^2
