Don't I hate it when things get tedious XD
Might I ask how you were taught to do this?

sophiajc · Answer

i was just given the usual and so casual area formula and was told to solve it o.0

terenzreignz · Answer

Well, I can go about this, it either involves finding the area of two trapezoids and one triangle, or the area of four triangles and one rectangle.

I'm just scared that this may not be the most efficient way to go about this, so let me just stand by for a second opinion :D
