Is there supposed to be an image? Adjacent is adjoining, so like touching each other. Vertical is "up". Horizontal is "side"
Umm what is this supposed to mean more information
ok so lets start of with the fact that the whole thing is 21 units.
So we do 21-9=12 so then we now know that the rectangle is 12 so then we do 12*8 units which is= 96 . Now the triangles. so the first one we know that its 8*3 and times it by 1/2 because two triangles is equal to a rectangle so the first triangle is 12 and now the second. its 9-3= 6 then its 6*8*1/2 which is equal to 24 so now the final answer is
96+12+24 which is equal to 132 so i'm guessing it 132 square units
