Can I please get help with this I give thanks

First one :
We divide it into two rectangles (the top one has dimensions 2in*4in)

The area of the top rectangle is 2*4=8 in^2

The second rectangle has dimensions 3*(5-3)=6 in^2
Hence the total area is 8+6=14 square inches

Second one :
We divide it into a rectangle (dimensions 11*17) and a triangle on the top.

The area of the rectangle is 11*17=187 m^2
The rectangle has dimensions 17 (base's length) and 23-11 (height) hence its area is 17*(23-11)/2=102 m^2

Hence the total area is 102+187=289 square meters
