Answer 1

Answer:

228cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

 

Multiply 18cm by 10cm:

18 x 10 = 180cm^2

So we have the area of the biggest/top part: 180cm^2

   

For the bottom part:

You've said the length of the bottom side is 8cm.

We know the length of the biggest side: 24cm. And we know the length of the opposite side: 18cm. So, to find the length of the missing side, it's simple subtraction:

24cm - 18cm = 6cm

So now we have lengths for 2 sides: 8cm and 6cm.

Multiply these to give the area:

8cm * 6cm = 48cm^2

Add these areas of both shapes together to give total area:

180cm^2 + 48cm^2 = 228cm^2
