The answer would be the first choice. 
Explanation: The reason for this is that the question was pretty much just asking what the area of the resulting two-dimensional cross section would be -the shape in gray- (which can be found by using the formula 
. To add on, since the dimensions of the shape are already given (5 and 3) all you've to do is multiply: 3*5=15
That's how you get to the answer.

Answer:
Perimeter=22 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Perimeter Of A Figure
Perimeter is the distance measured around a shape. If the figure is line-shaped, the perimeter can be obtained by adding the individual lengths of each segment around the shape.
The figure shown is surrounded by line segments. We only have to add them all to find the perimeter. But we don't need each individual length to do so. We may notice the following (given all angles are right):
The sum of HG+FE+DC equals AB. So the upper and lower lengths are twice AB, or equivalently: 2*7 1/2 m =15 m
It can also be noted that AH+GF=BC+DE=2 1/4+1 1/4 = 3 1/2 m. It means that the two lateral lengths are twice this value: 2* 3 1/2 = 7 m
Thus, the total perimeter is 15 m + 7 m = 22 m
she used GF=2BG,but the statement is correct BG=2GF
