Default Math Help -.-..I'm stuck geometry question



I tried splitting up the image into 3 parts, 2triangles, retangle, and tried doing the Pytagorean Theorem on the triangle, no luck because each triangles base can't be 5 since it isn't a isosceles trapezoid. My teacher had problems with it in the teacher manual said they split it into a parallelogram and a triangle, but I still won't get the height of the triangle because I can't define if its a isosceles triangle.



If you figure it out mind explaning.

The real question is find the area, I got the area from teacher but she wants to know how to find the height, got me confused -.-...
