The area of the first figure, the rectangle is 30cm2. The base which is 5cm, times the height which is 6cm equals 30cm2. The triangle's area is 7.5cm2 because the height which is 3cm times the base which is 5cm equals 15cm. Because it's a triangle tho, we have to find half of it which 7.5cm2. 30cm2+7.5cm2 equals 37.5cm2.
