The total area of the compound shape is 631.5 square millimeters.

To find the area of a compound shape, you'll need to break it down into simpler shapes and then sum up their individual areas.

Let's say the compound shape consists of a combination of rectangles and triangles.

Given:

Rectangle with sides 20 mm and 10 mm

Triangle with base 13 mm and height 11 mm

Rectangle with sides 24 mm and 15 mm

Let's calculate the areas of these shapes:

Area of the first rectangle = length × width = 20 mm × 10 mm = 200 mm²

Area of the triangle = (base × height) / 2 = (13 mm × 11 mm) / 2 = 143 mm² / 2 = 71.5 mm²

Area of the second rectangle = length × width = 24 mm × 15 mm = 360 mm²

Now, add up the areas of these shapes to find the total area of the compound shape:

Total area = Area of rectangle 1 + Area of triangle + Area of rectangle 2

Total area = 200 mm² + 71.5 mm² + 360 mm²

Total area = 631.5 mm²

Therefore, the total area of the compound shape is 631.5 square millimeters.
