Answer:

532 m²

Explanation:

We have a square with the side a = 18m and a triangle with the base

b = 18m + 8m = 26m and height h = 16m.

The formula of an area of a square:


A_(\square)=a^2

The formula of an area of a triangle:


A_(\triangle)=(bh)/(2)

Substitute:


A_(\square)=18^2=324\ m^2\\\\A_{\triangle=((26)(16))/(2)=(26)(8)=208\ m^2

The area of figure:


A=A_(\square)+A_(\triangle)\\\\A=324\ m^2+208\ m^2=532\ m^2
