Answer 1

160 square units

Explanation:

First, lets focus on the triangles.

To find the area of a right triangle, we need to multiply the length by the width, and divide by 2.

(5 * 8) / 2 = 20

(And since there is two triangles, the area of the two is 40.)

To find the area of a rectangle, we need to multiply the length by the width.

15 * 8 = 120

Now we add all the areas together.

120 + 20 + 20 = 160

Is the answer is 160 square units.
