(Comment if you want a deeper explanation on where this comes from)

He mistakenly takes 4 cm for the height, but if you look carefully the height of the triangle in this case is 4 cm - 1.5 cm = 2.5 cm.

That gives for the area of the triangle.

Adding those two together gets you a total area of 5.5 cm².

Sample Response :   Carlos did not label units; all of his units should be cm2. Carlos incorrectly found the area of the triangle. The height of the triangle is 2.5 cm, and the area is 2.5 cm2.
