I will give you the formula and teach you how to solve this. Let’s start with finding the area of both the right triangles.
The formula is, base x height / 2 = area
Triangle 1 - 2x8/2 = 16/2 = 8
Triangle 2 - 2x8/2 = 16/2 = 8
Rectangle - 8x3 = 24
Add them up: 24 + 8 + 8 = 40 square feet
I hope this wasn’t to confusing

Answer:
figure 1 - 10.5 unit^2
figure 2 - 12 unit^2
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>figure 1</u>
1. find the area of the rectangle
<em>3*2 = 6 unit^2</em>
2. find the area of the triangle
<em>(3*3)/2 = 4.5 unit^2</em>
3. add the area of the rectangle and the area of the triangle together. The sum would be the area of the trapezoid.
<em>6 + 4.5 = </em><u><em>10.5 unit^2</em></u>
<u>figure 2</u>
1. find the area of the rectangle
<em>2*4 = 8 unit^2</em>
2. find the area of both triangles
<em>(1*4)/2 = 2 unit^2</em>
3. add the area of the rectangle and the area of both triangles together. The sum would be the area of the trapezoid.
<em>8 + 2 + 2 = </em><u><em>12 unit^2</em></u>
