Answer:
The area is
A = 201.6 or with units we have A = 201.6 cm^2
Explanation:
We find the area of the triangle and the rectangle separately, and then add the areas to get the total area
Area of Rectangle = R = (base)(height)
R = (12)(15)
R = 180
R = 180 cm^2
Area of Triangle = T = 1/2(base)(height)
T = (1/2)(12)(3.6)
T = 21.6
T = 21.6 cm^2
Total Area = A = Area of Rectangle + Area of Triangle
A = R + T = 180 + 21.6
A = 201.6
A = 201.6 cm^2
