Answer:

Area = 140 sq. ft

Explanation:

Divide the figure into two shapes: rectangle and triangle.

Solve the area of the triangle first:

A = 1/2 bh

A = 1/2 (6)(4)

A = 1/2 (24)

A = 12

Solve the area of rectangle:

A = lw

A = (8)(16)

A = 128

Area of figure = area of triangle + area of rectangle

Area of figure = 12 + 128

Area = 140 sq. ft
