Area of a triangle = 1/2 (base x height)
Area of square/rectangle/parallelogram = base x height
Students are going to want to "break up" the figure into triangles and squares/rectangles/parallelograms so they can apply the correct formula.
Remember to number each piece you create and then calculate the areas separately.
All all the areas together to get the total area for the figure.
