I NEED HELPP!

Answer 1

45.5 u²

Explanation:

first we need to find the base of the triangle so we subtract 8-5=3, now since its 2 triangles we divide by 2 and we get 1.5 for each base of the triangles

area for a triangle: A=bh/2

A=(1.5)(7)/2

since its 2 triangles then multiply by 2

A= 10.5 u²

area for a rectangle: A=bh

A=(7)(5)

A= 35 u²

35+10.5 = 45.5 u²

Answer 2

`area = 2 * ( (1)/(2) * 1.5 * 7) + (8 * 7) \\ = 10.5 + 56 \\ = 66.5 \: sq \: units`
