The figure shown is made up of a right angled triangle and a rectangle.
The triangle has a base of 8cm, because its placed on the length of the rectangle which is 16cm and the cut off portion is 8cm, so that leaves the triangle with a base of 8cm (16 - 8). The vertical height of the triangle is 6cm (that is 13cm - 7cm).
The rectangle has a length of 16cm and a width of 7cm.
Therefore, the area is calculated as follows;
