Answer 1

35in^2

You essentially have 3 rectangles.

Starting from the top

2*5 = 10

Middle

This is the only tricky one. You have the top with a total lenght of 5 and the middle rectangle is recessed from the 5 inch 2 inch. that leaves you 3 inches plus the 3 off to the side. in total 5 inches

3*5 = 15

Bottom

2*5 = 10

Add them all togehter

10+15+10
