12 cm
6 cm
10 cm
10 cm
7 cm
26 cm
24 cm

Answer 1

476 cm²

Explanation:

area of top rectangle = 20 X 7 = 140.

area of bottom rectangle = 12 X (10 + 6) = 12 X 16 = 192.

area of small triangle = 1/2 X 6 X (20 - 12) = 1/2 X 6 X 8 = 24.

area of large triangle = 1/2 X 10 X 24 = 120.

area of the figure = 140 + 192 + 24 + 120 = 476 cm²
