The area of the figure would be the area of the rectangle in the picture plus the area of the triangle. Do you know how to find the area of the triangle?

next step: look at the picture. do you see numbers for the base and height ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no
OpenStudy (anonymous):
12 km is the hight and the base is 36-24
OpenStudy (anonymous):
36-24=12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 12x12=144

do you see numbers next to the sides of the rectangle?
12 looks ok for the height.
for the base, I would use the length of the bottom side. we are finding the area of this
