Answer:220

Explanation:

LET X BE THE LENGTH OF RECTANGLE AND FOR UPPER PORTION OF DIA GRAM BASE OF RIGHT ANGLE TRIANGLE SO X=20

LET Y BE WIDTH OF RECTANGLE SO Y=8

LET P BE THE PERPENDICULAR OF THE RIGHT TRIANGLE SO P=6

THEN

AREA OF RECTANGLE=LENGTH*WIDTH

SO AREA OF RECTANGLE BECOMES=(20)(8)=160

AND AREA OF RIGHT ANGLE TRIANGLE BECOMES=1/2(BASE*(PERPENDICULAR)

SO =1/2(20)(6)=60

SO THE TOTAL AREA OF THE DIAGRAM=AREA OF RIGHT ANGLE TRIANGLE+AREA OF RECTANGLE=160+60=220
