Answer:
532m squared is the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Split the shape into two shapes
one will be a square and the other one a triangle
1) since the length and the width of the square is 18m just Multiply
18x18=324m squared
2) look carefully the width of the square you split is equal to the base of the triangle, so you connect the 18 and the 8 together.
18+8=26m squared
3) Now solve the triangle since you know the height which is 16m squared.
A=lw/2
26x16=416
416 divided by 2 is 208
4) finally just Add
208+324=532m squared
Hopes this helps!
