Step-by-step explanation:
The figure consists of 2 rectangles.
<u>Rectangle 1 Area:</u>
Length = 5 cm
Width = 2 cm
Area = Length * Width
A = 5 * 2
A = 10 cm²
<u>Rectangle 2 Area:</u>
Length = 4 cm
Width = 2 cm
Area = 2 * 4
A = 8 cm²
<u>Area of the whole figure:</u>
= Rectangle 1 + Rectangle 2
= 10 + 8
= 18 cm²
Hope this helped!

Answer:
252.8 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The missing side of the right triangle can be found from the Pythagorean theorem:
s² = 20² -16² = 400 -256 = 144
s = 12 . . . . cm
The area of a right triangle is more easily found using the traditional area formula:
A = 1/2bh
A = 1/2(12 cm)(16 cm) = 96 cm² (left-side triangle)
The area of the triangle on the right can be found from Heron's formula. The semiperimeter is ...
s = (16 +20 +23)/2 = 29.5
The area is ...
A = √(29.5(29.5 -16)(29.5 -20)(29.5 -23)) = √(29.5·13.5·9.5·6.5)
A = √24591.9375 ≈ 156.818 . . . . . cm² (right-side triangle)
Then the total area of the figure is ...
A = 96 cm² +156.818 cm² = 252.818 cm² . . . . total area
