Answer:

Your answer is 63

Step-by-step explanation:

First lets find the area of the rectangle:

To find the area of a rectangle your multiply the length by the width.  In this case it is 5 and 9 so..

5 x 9 = 45

Now to find the area of the triangle:

Formula for triangle: 1/2(bh)

9 is your height to find the base subtract 5 from 9:

9 - 5 = 4

Now divide that by 2:

4 / 2 = 2

2 is your base

Now we know the base and height solve:

1/2(2 x 9)

1/2(18)

18 / 2 = 9

multiply 9 by 2

9 x 2 = 18

Now add your areas to find the final area:

45 + 18 = 63
