Answer:

58.6

Explanation:

To find the area of the figure by splitting it into two shapes - a trapezoid and a rectangle.

The area of a rectangle is A = b*h where b = 8 and h = 4.

So the area is A = 8*4 = 32

The area of a trapezoid is A = 1/2 (a+b)h where a = 8 and b = 5.3 and h = 4.

So the area is A = 1/2(8+5.3)*4 = 1/2(13.3)(4) = 26.6.

The area of the whole figure is these two areas added together.

32 + 26.6 = 58.6
