Answer 5

WowIzzy - you want everything done for you?
Well, since I made the graphic, I might as well finish the whole thing.
Area of rectangle QRSV = 6 x 7 = 42
(CAn you see why it is 6 by 7 ?

Answer 6

Next we need the area of the 2 triangles
triangle area = ½ • base • height
triangle STU base = 8
triangle STU height = 4
triangle STU area = ½ • 8 • 4
triangle STU area = 16

triangle QVU base = 7
triangle QVU height = 2
triangle QVU area = ½ • 7 • 2
triangle QVU area = 7

TOTAL AREA
rectangle = 42
triangles STU area = 16
triangle QVU area = 7

TOTAL Area = 65
