Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

610 m²

Explanation:

If we extend the horizontal line across the right-hand portion of the figure, then the figure is divided into two rectangles:

bottom: 5 m × 50 m = 250 m²

top: 18 m × 20 m = 360 m²

The sum of these areas is the shaded area:

shaded area = 250 m² +360 m² = 610 m²
