The area of the triangle extension is 12, because the total side length it is on is 18, and the segments to the sides of the triangle are 6 each, meaning 18-12=6, the height of the triangle. The base is given as 4, so 1/2(4x6)=24/2=12.
Add this to the area of the rectangle, 9x18=162, and 162+12=174.
The area is 174.

Answer:
41 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent age of younger child.
We have been given that a mother has two children whose ages differ by 5 years. So the age of older child would be
.
The sum of the squares of their ages is 97. We can represent this information in an equation as:

Let us solve for x.



Divide both sides by 2:






Since age cannot be negative, therefore, age of younger child is 4 years.
Age of older child would be 
Therefore, the age of older child would be 9 years.
We have been given that the square of the mother's age can be found by writing the squares of the children's ages one after the other as a four-digit number.
Square of 4: 
Square of 9:
.
Square of mother's age: 
To find mother's age, we need to take positive square root of 1681 as:

Therefore, the mother is 41 years old.
