Answer 1

400 in²

Explanation:

The figure is composed of a parallelogram and a triangle

The area of the parallelogram is calculated as

area = bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

Here b = 20 and h = 16, thus

area = 20 × 16 = 320 in²

The area of the triangle is calculated as

area =
`(1)/(2)` bh ( b is the base and h the height )

Here b = 20 ( opposite sides of a parallelogram are congruent ), h = 8

area =
`(1)/(2)` × 20 × 8 = 10 × 8 = 80 in²

Area of figure = 320 + 80 = 400 in²
