Answer:

164 cm^2

Explanation:

lets find square of triangle first

corner ABD is 90 degrees coz corner ABC is 180 degrees and EBC is 90

(sum of all angles of a quadrilateral is 360,

B = 360 - C - F - E

360 - 90 - 90 - 90 = 90)

BD = CF - DE

BD = 16 - 8 = 8 cm

S ABD = AB * BD / 2 (coz corner B is 90 degrees)

S ABD = 13 * 8 / 2 = 13 * 4 = 52 cm^2

lets find square of BEFC next

S BEFC = CF * EF ( B = C = F = E = 90 so thats a rectangle)

S BEFC = 16 * 7 = 70 + 42 = 112 cm^2

finally lets find total area

S = S ABD + S BEFC = 52 + 112 = 164 cm^2
