To solve the problem we could separate the figure into three parts. First figure is a triangle, second figure is a rectangle, third figure is a triangle. See image attached.
Solve each area of the figures
First figure, a triangle that have 7 units long of the base, and 2 units long of the height.
a = 1/2 × b × h
a = 1/2 × 7 × 2
a = 14/2
a = 7
The area of the first figure is 7 units²
Second figure is a rectangle, the length of the rectangle is 7 units, the width of the rectangle is 4 units.
a = l × w
a = 7 × 4
a = 28
The area of the second figure is 28 units²
Third figure is a triangle, the base is 7 units long and the height is 2 units long.
a = 1/2 × b × h
a = 1/2 × 7 × 2
a = 14/2
a = 7
The area of the third figure is 7 units²
The area of the three figures
area = first figure area + second figure area + third figure area
area = 7 + 28 + 7
area = 42
The total area of the figures is 42 units²

Second figure is a rectangle, the length of the rectangle is 7 units, the width of the rectangle is 4 units.
a = l × w
a = 7 × 4
a = 28
The area of the second figure is 28 units²
Third figure is a triangle, the base is 7 units long and the height is 2 units long.
a = 1/2 × b × h
a = 1/2 × 7 × 2
a = 14/2
a = 7
The area of the third figure is 7 units²
The area of the three figures
area = first figure area + second figure area + third figure area
area = 7 + 28 + 7
area = 42
The total area of the figures is 42 units²
