break it up into simpler shapes. See the photo.
There is:
trapezoid
A = 0.5(3.2+6.5)4.5
= 21.825
triangle
A = 0.5(2.7)4.5
= 6.075
rectangle
A = 1.8(4.5)
= 8.1
Total Area = 21.825 + 6.075 + 8.1
= 36
You can go to the app Photomath if you want the step of the explanation
1. distribute a 1 to the 12 and 8a
2. you'll get 15+ 12 +8a
3. add the like terms(15 and 12)
4. your final answer will be 27+8a
Answer:
80
