Answer:

A = 273 m^2

Explanation:

We have two shapes:

One Triangle and One Rectangle

Area of Triangle: A = 1/2*B*H

Area of Rectangle: A = L*W

Area of Triangle:

A = 1/2 * 6 * 7

A = 3 * 7

A = 21 m^2

Area of Rectangle:

A = 18 * 14

A = 252 m^2

Now add Area of Triangle and Area of Rectangle to get the whole area of the shape.

A = 21 + 252 = 273 m^2
