What I did was find the area of the figure as if it were a regular square. Area = Length x Width Area = 12 x 20 Area = 240
Then I find the area of the cut out piece, which happens to be a right triangle. Area = 1/2(length x width) Base/width = 20 - 14 Base/width = 6 Length = 12 - 10 Length = 2 Area = 1/2(2 x 14) Area = 1/2(28) Area = 14
Now subtract 240 - 14 = 226 226 should be your answer
