You find the area for the triangle on top and the rectangle on the bottom. In order to find the area of the triangle, multiply 7 and 3. Then divide the product which is 21 by 2. So the area of the triangle is 21/2 which could also be written as 10 1/2. Next, you find the area of the rectangle which is 7x3. You get 21. Finally, you add the two areas to get 31 1/2. It could also be written as 63/2 or 31.5
