find the area of the triangles first: formula for the area of a triangle is A=bh/2 the base is 12 the height can be found by taking the 13(given) subtracting 5(given) and dividing by 2 which gives you 4 and then just fill in the formula A= 12•4/2 A=24 then multiply by 2(bc there are two triangles and you get A=48
now to the area of the rectangle which is just A=BH you fill it in A=12•5 solve A=60 then you add the area of the triangles to the area of the rectangle to get the area of the hexagon A=48+60 A=108
