Answer:

Area = 245m^2

Explanation:

We can split this figure into 2 parts, a rectangle and a trapezoid.

Rectangle Sides = 10m and 20m

Area = 10m x 20m = 200m

Trapezoid formula = a+b/2(h)

a and b are the 2 bases and h is the height

Using a little deductive reasoning we get the following, 5+10/2(6)

This simplifies to 15/2(6) -->

7.5(6) = 45

Thus, our area is 200 + 45, or 245m^2
