First you simply have to substitute 2 in replace of all the a's, and -2 in replace of all of the b's
4((2)2+2(-2))
Then you want to follow the order of operations, PEMDAS (Parantheses-Exponent-Multiplication-Division-Addition-Subtraction), and multiply within the parantheses.
4(4+(-4))
Next you will add within the parantheses (So add the 4 and -4 together)
4(0)
Lastly multiply
0
Your answer is 0

By decomposing the figure in simpler shapes, we will see that the total area is:
a = 180 cm²

How to find the area of the composite figure?</h3>
Remember that the area of a rectangle of width W and length L is:
A = L*W
And the area of a triangle with base B and height H is:
A = B*H/2.
Then, the upper part can be seen as a rectangle of length of 6cm and width of 6 cm, with two triangles on the sides, such that each triangle has a base of 3cm and a height of 6cm.
So the area of that part is:
A = 6cm*6cm + 2*(3cm*6cm/2) = 54cm²
Now, the bottom triangle has a base of 12 cm, and a height of:
15cm - 6cm = 9cm
Then its area is:
A' = 12cm*9cm/2 = 54cm²
This means that the total area of the figure is:
total area = 54cm² + 54cm² = 108cm²
