d. 164 sq m

Answer 1

The answer for this question is 164

Answer 2

d.) 164 sq. m

Explanation:

1. I broke down the shape into 3 individual shapes, which created 2 rectangles and a triangle.
   
2. I multiplied the length and the height to get the area of each shape.
   8 · 16 = 128 sq. m, 8 · 4 = 32 sq. m, and (2 · 4)/2 = 4 sq m.
   
3. I added the areas of each shape and got 164 sq. m.
   128 sq. m + 32 sq. m + 4 sq. m= 164 sq m
