Answer

C) 160 in^2


Step by step explanation

First, let's find the area of the rectangle.

Area of a rectangle = length x width

The area of the rectangle = 20 * 10

= 200 in^2

Now let's find the area of the triangle that is removed.

Area of a triangle = 1/2 base * height.

Here base = 10 and height = 8. Plug in these values into the formula, we get

Area of the triangle = 1/2 * 10*8

= 5* 8

The area of the triangle = 40 in^2

The area of the remaining figure = Area of the rectangle - area of the triangle

= 200 - 40

= 160 in^2

The answer is "160 in^2"

Thank you.
