Answer:
528 cm²
Explanation:
First I would calculate the area of the side rectangles:
20 x 9 = 180 cm²
There are two identical rectangles on both sides so i would x2
180 x 2 = 360 cm²
The area of the middle rectangle:
6 x 20 = 120 cm²
The area of the triangles:
Area of a triangle = (Base x Height)/2
8 x 6 = 48
48 ÷ 2 = 24
There are two identical triangles on the bottom and the top so x2
24 x 2 = 48
Now add all the values up:
360 + 120 + 48 = 528 cm²
I hope this helps!
