Answer:

The area of the shape is 89m²

Explanation:

You need to subtract the area of the empty triangle from the area of the rectangle.

The rectangle's area is 13m × 8m = 104m²

The triangle's area is (6m × (13 - 8)m) / 2 = (6 × 5) / 2 m² = 15m²

Subtract the triangle's area from the rectangle:

104m² - 15m²

= 89m²
