Answer:
19 units squared
Step-by-step explanation:
I have attached an image that explains the process.
Essentially we split the shape into 3 triangles, and solve the area of each, and add them up.
The top right triangle is 3 x 5. So A = (3 x 5) / 2 = 7.5
The bottom right triangle is a copy of the top right. So that A = 7.5
The triangle on the left is 4 long and 2 high. So A = (4 x 2) / 2 = 4 units.
Total area is:
7.5 + 7.5 + 4 = 19 units squared.
