and before you ask, no I can't send a picture, mainly because I can't find one
You have described 4 sides: upper, left, base, right.
If the shape is a pentagon, it has 5 sides. If it looks like a house, it has a rectangular base, and a "roof" of two sloping sides.
So, just saying, the 4 sides you have named, it is unclear what "upper" means. Maybe you can figure out how to describe it better, but as it stands, I don't know how to divide it into a rectangle and a triangle.
If you do, then just recall how to find the area of a rectangle and a triangle, and go for it!
