What is the area of the figure?

Answer:
28.5
Step-by-step explanation:
First you section off the triangle at the top and get the area of the rectangle which is 8 x 3 = 24, then you get the area of the triangle which is (3 x 3) / 2 = 4.5, then you add the triangle and the rectangle to get 24 + 4.5 = 28.5.
