Question

Find the area of the figure

Answer 1

I'll draw it :)

Answer 2

Think about it as two different shapes, split at the dotted line.
The top is a trapezoid that has the equation of\[A = \frac{ 1 }{ 2 } (a + b)h\] where a and b are the bases and h is the height. Then the triangle equation is\[A = \frac{ 1 }{ 2} bh\]
