Answer and Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's split the figure into two common shapes that we know the area formula for.
The top shape can become a triangle, while the bottom shape can become a rectangle.
We know the area of a triangle is

and the area of a rectangle is
A = lw
Where:
A = Area
b = Base length (length)
h = Height
l = Longer length of a side
w = Smaller length of a side
<u>Area of a Triangle:</u>
b = 3
h = 3
A = 
A = 4.5
<u>Area of a Rectangle:</u>
w = 3
l = 8
A = 3 × 8
A = 24
Now we add together the areas to get the area of the figure.
<u>Area of the Figure:</u>
A = 4.5 + 24
A = 28.5
The area of the figure is 28.5
