Answer:
320 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
First, split the figures into 2. 1 short rectangle and long rectangle.
Find the area of the longer rectangle first.
Length = 16 + 8 = 24 in
Breadth = 16 - 8 = 8 in
Formula for area of rectangle = Length x Breadth
24 in x 8 in = 192 in (Area of long rectangle)
Find the area of the short rectangle.
Breadth = 16 - 8 = 8 in
16 x 8 = 128 in (Area of short rectangle)
Since they're combined,
192 + 128 = 320
I don't know if this is correct, but I hope it was helpful)
