First, break up the shapes into parts. The first one you see is 7 by 4 rectangle on the top. A=l*w A=7*4 A=28 for the rectangle, your not done Now the triangle to the left A=l*w/2 A=19*10/2 A=95 Now all you got left is the trapezoid, which area's formula is: A=(b∧1+b∧2*h)/2 A=9+19*8/2 A=112. Now you have the area for three of the figures, add them up: 112+95+28=235 So in total, the area of this figure is 235 cm^2
