Answer:
A = 40 in²
Explanation:
the figure is composed of a rectangle and a triangle.
then area (A) is calculated as
A = area of rectangle + area of triangle
= (16 × 2) + (
bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )
here b = 6 - 2 = 4 and h = 20 - 16 = 4 , then
A = 32 + (
× 4 × 4)
= 32 + 8
= 40 in²
