Answer:
Splitting the figure into triangles , rectangles and square
First triangle : base = 2 , height = 2
Area = 1/2 x 2 x 2 = 2 square units
Rectangle : length = 5 , breadth = 2
Area = 5 x 2 = 10 square units
Rectangle : length = 7, breadth = 1
Area = 7 x 1 = 7 square units
Rectangle : length = 6, breadth = 1
Area = 6 x 1 = 6 square units
Triangle : base = 3, height = 3
Area = 1/2 x 3 x 3 = 4.5 square units
Square : side = 3
Area = 3 x 3 = 9 square units
Total Area = 2 + 10 + 7 + 6 + 9 + 4.5 = 38.5 square units
