Hi there!

Find the total area by breaking the figure into two rectangles, one trapezoid, and one triangle.
Rectangles:
A = l × w
A = 2.75 × 4 = 11 in²
Solve for the other rectangle's length by subtracting from the total:
12 - 2 - 3 - 4 = 3
A = 3 × 3 = 9 in²
Total rectangle area: 11 + 9 = 20 in²
Trapezoid:
A = 1/2(b1 + b2)h
A = 1/2(4.25 + 2.75)3 = 21/2 = 10.5 in²
Triangle:
A = 1/2(bh)
A = 1/2(2.5 · 2) = 2.5 in²
Add up all of the areas:
20 + 10.5 + 2.5 = 33 in²

remember
a³-b³=(a-b)(a²+ab+b²)

If we're only counting 5 vowels (A, E, I, O, U) and 20 consonants (everything else, minus T), then there are

ways of picking the vowels, and

ways of picking the consonants.
We want the word to start with T, and we'll allow any arrangement of the other 4 letters, so that the total number of words is

Keep in mind that this means words like TRIES and TIRES are treated as different.
