Answer:

A = 189 sq units

Explanation:

You can cut the shape up into pieces. See image. There are two rectangles and a triangle. Some sides are given:

rectangle: 16 × 8

sm rectangle: 3 × 4

Some sides you have to add to find (the height of the whole entire thing: 16+4+4)

Some lengths you have to subtract to find (height of the triangle: 24 - 10).

Area of a rectangle:

length × width OR

base × height

Area of a triangle:

1/2 • b • h

Add up all three areas. See image.
