Answer:

732
m^2

Explanation:

First we can find the area of the shape if the triangle wasn't there. That would be:

24×33=792.

Then, we can find the area of the triangle to subtract that from the total.

The formula for the area of a triangle is
A=(1)/(2) bh.

So
A=(1)/(2) (8)(15)

I found the base of the triangle by subtracting 16 from 24.

I found the height of the triangle by subtracting 18 from 33.

Now, solve the equation.


A=(1)/(2)( 120)

A=60

Then finally, Subtract 60 from 792.

You get 732.

I hope this helps!

Answer:

732 m^2

Explanation:

Find the area of the full rectangle

33*24 =792

Find the area of the triangle

24-16 = 8

33 -18 =15

The area of the triangle is

A = 1/2 bh = 1/2 ( 15)(8) = 60

Subtract the triangle from the rectangle

792 - 70=732 m^2
