Answer:
The area of the shape is 84cm squared.
Explanation:
-The area for a rectangle is A=l*w.
-The area for a triangle is 1/2*b*w.
-The area for the rectangle is 12cm*6cm=72cm.
-The area for the triangle is 1/2*8cm*3cm=12cm.
-Now you add 72cm+12cm=84cm.
Do not forget:
You must add the small 2 or put squared because it is a 2D figure.
