Answer:

416 cm²

Explanation:

First, I found the area of the rectangle without the triangles on the side:

14 • 16 = 224

Then, I had to find the length of the base of the triangles:

38 - 14 = 24

Assuming the triangles are the same, 24/2 = 12 cm for one triangle

I found the area of the triangles:

16 • 12 = 192

**192/2 = 96

**Since there are two triangles you would multiply the 96 by 2 which cancels out the divide by two. Technically, you can skip this step for this question.

Then you just add them together: 192 + 224 = 416 cm²
