Answer:

126cm²

Explanation:

first divide the figure into two( rectangle and a triangle)

area of a rectangle=length x width

16cmx7xcm

112xcm²

area of a triangle=1/2base x height

1/2x7cmx(20-16)cm

1/2x7cmx(4)cm

14cm²

total area of the figure=area of rectangle+area of triangle

=112cm²+14cm²

=126cm²

hope this is helpful
