Okay so here's what you do. The arrows mean the the sides are the same length so the > line is 20in. And then they cut this up into 2 triangles and a trapezoid. BUT If you look closely 1 of the Triangles and the Trapizoid make a Parallelogram. The formula for finding the area of a Paralellogram is just b*h. So then you just need to find the area of the other triangle which would be 8*20/2 (the formula is b*h/2 for triangles) and then you add those to answers together. (So it's 20*16+8*20)
