Question

What is the area of this figure.

Answer 1

the answer is 400in^2

work :

you can separate this figure into two regular figures: a parallelogram and a right triangle

let's find the area of the parallelogram
(height x side)


`16 * 20 = 320`
and now we can find the area of the right triangle (height x side /2


`(8 * 20) / 2 = 160 / 2 = 80`

so the area of the whole shape is :

`320 + 80 = 400`




good luck
