Answer:
We first ALWAYS have to split the figure apart from each other,
lets split it into a triangle and a square!
Let's find the area of the triangle:
20(height) x 20(base) = 400!
400 x 1/2 (just dividing by 2) = 200!
*Remember* Formula of a triangle is:
B(base) x H(height) x 1/2 (basically dividing by 2)
Now time to find the area of the square!
20 x 20 = 400!
Now let's add both their areas:
400 + 200 = 600!
Step-by-step explanation:
600cm2 is your answer.
