For this case, we must find the area of the figure composed of a parallelogram and a right triangle.

Let:

a: Base

h: Height

The area of the triangle is given by:

$A = \frac {b * h} {2}\\A = \frac {20 * 8} {2}\\A = \frac {160} {2}\\A = 80 \ in ^ 2$

The area of the parallelogram is given by:

$A = b.h\\A = 20 * 16\\A = 320 \ in ^ 2$

The total area is given by the sum of the areas:

$At = (80 + 320) in ^ 2\\At = 400 \ in ^ 2$

Answer:

$400 \ in ^ 2$
