Well first you got figure out the formulas for the 2 triangles and the trapezoid.
The triangles formula for area is: A=b*h/2
The trapezoids formula for area is: A=1/2(b1+b2)*h
After you found the formulas you got to plug in the numbers.
For the first triangle it’s: A=9*5/2
The second triangle it’s: A=8*8/2
The trapezoid it’s: A=1/2(9+8)*5
After you plug in the numbers you have to solve the areas.
So the first triangle is: 9*5/2=9*5=45/2=22.5
So the area of the first triangle is 22.5
Then you have to solve the second triangle.
The second triangle: 8*8/2=8*8=64/2=32
So the area of the second triangle is 32
After solving the second triangle you have to solve the trapezoid.
Trapezoid: 1/2(9+8)*5=9+8=17=1/2(17)*5=17*5=85/2=
42.5
The area of the trapezoid is 42.5
After solving all of the shapes you have to add up all of the areas to get your full area.
22.5+32+42.5=22.5+42.5=65+32=97
So the area of the whole thing is 97
Hope this helps you!!!! Have a nice day!!!!
