Step-by-step explanation:
You can cut the shape up into pieces. See image. There are two rectangles and a triangle. Some sides are given:
rectangle: 16 × 8
sm rectangle: 3 × 4
Some sides you have to add to find (the height of the whole entire thing: 16+4+4)
Some lengths you have to subtract to find (height of the triangle: 24 - 10).
Area of a rectangle:
length × width OR
base × height
Area of a triangle:
1/2 • b • h
Add up all three areas. See image.
