Answer:
the area is 187.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First we must split this figure into two, now we have a triangle on top of a rectangle (we know this is a rectangle because the length is longer than the width)
to find the area of a rectangle we must use the equation l*w=A so
15*10=150
Now that we have the area of the rectangle we must find the area of the triangle
We can see one side is longer, this shows us that the triangle is 5 units tall and 15 units long
the formula to find the area of a right triangle is ab/2=A
5*15/2=A
75/2=A
37.5=A
now we have both areas we add them together
37.5+150=187.5
187.5 is your answer
