Answer:
187 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The bottom rectangle area is easy, it is 15*9 = 135 cm².
To find the area of the triangle, you only need the base width and its height (you don't need the hypotenuse). You can then use the formula: area triangle is base times half height.
The base width is 15-7 = 8 cm
The height is 22-9 = 13 cm
So the area of the triangle is 13*8/2 = 52 cm²
Together with the 135 of the rectangle that sums to 52+135 = 187 cm².
