Answer:

Area = 136

Explanation:

Rectangle on the bottom

Length = 16

Width = 7

Area = L * W

Area = 16 * 7

Area = 112

Triangle on Top

Height = 13 - 7 = 6

Length = 16 - 8 = 8

In a right triangle the area = the product of the 2 shortest sides divided by 2

Area = 1/2 * Length * Height

Area = 1/2 * 8 * 6

Area = 1/2 48

Area = 24

Total Area = 112 + 24 = 136
