All right, you've got to build up a lot of smaller areas and add them all together. Let's start with the rectangle. Length of four, width of three. Area of?
12
Thats the rectangle right?
Yes, that's correct. Let's look on top of that now. We've got a five-sided figure. We can break that down into a rectangle and two smaller triangles as I'll draw below.

The rectangle in this system, what are its length and width? And its area?
0_o idk what you just did there i just know the area for the triangles on the left and right of the rectangle idk the top
All right... No worries... Let me draw the figure one more time, with some more lines drawn in.
The area of the second figure can be seen as the area of the big rectangle minus the area of the three rectangles that are missing.

All right, we have a five sided figure, we know it is 3 units high, the base is 4 units wide, and the top is 2 units wide.. So, let's draw that out...
would it be 3 times 4? cause the base on top doesnt count?
