To calculate the area of the front view of the house, we need to find the areas of both the triangle and the rectangle, then add them together.

  1. Area of the Triangle:

    • The formula is \( A = \frac{1}{2} bh \), where \( b \) is the base and \( h \) is the height.
    • Please provide the base and height of the triangle to calculate the area.
  2. Area of the Rectangle:

    • The formula is \( A = lw \), where \( l \) is the length and \( w \) is the width (or height) of the rectangle.
    • Please provide the length and width of the rectangle to calculate the area.

Once you provide the dimensions, we can compute both areas and sum them to find the total area.
