Its the first one, 22.5. This is because... if you multiply 5 and 4, you would get 20, the area of the square. You then have to multiply 1 and 5 to get 5 and divide it by 2 to get the area of the triangle which would be 2.5, then add 2.5 to 20 and get 22.5.
Hope this helps :)

Answer:
area = 22.5 ft²

Explanation:
The total area can be calculated by summing the areas of the rectangle and the triangle.

1- getting the area of the rectangle:
area of square = length * width
In the given, we have:
length = 4 ft
width = 5 ft
Therefore:
area of rectangle = 4 * 5 = 20 ft²

2- getting the area of the triangle:
area of triangle = 0.5 * base * height
In the given, we have:
base = 5 ft
height = 1 ft
Therefore:
area of triangle = 0.5 * 5 * 1 = 2.5 ft²

3- getting the total area:
Total area = area of rectangle + area of triangle
Total area = 20 + 2.5 = 22.5 ft²

Hope this helps :)
