To find the area of the pentagon, we first need to find the area of the triangle and then add it to the area of the rectangle.
Area of the triangle:
1/2 * base * height
1/2 * 10 * 5 = 25
Area of the rectangle:
base * height
10 * 3 = 30
Total area = 25 + 30 = 55
Therefore, the area of the pentagon is 55 square units.
