Find the area of the square first.
5x5=25
Now find the area of the triangle.
5x3=15
Since its a triangle we divide 15/2
15/2=7.5

25+7.5= 32.5

Please mark brainliest 3 more to rankup

Here, Total area of Trapezoid = Area of square in it + Area of Triangle

Area of square = a² = 5² = 25 Ft²

Area of Triangle = 1/2 × b × h = 1/2 × 5 × 3 = 7.5

So, Total area = 25 + 7.5 = 32.5 Ft²

In short, Your Answer would be Option A

Hope this helps!
