%281%2F2%29bh is what you should really have.

Nothing to "break down". Just substitute the given values.
%281%2F2%295%2A%289.5%29
Evaluate or compute that.

Write your expression in pencil. Erase the b and write (5) in its place. Erase the h and write (9.5) in its place. Do the arithmetic. Remember to express your answer in square units since you are calculating an area.
