Answer:
333cm^2
Explanation:
Divide the compound shape into the two separate parts, the rectangle and the triangle.
The rectangle measuring 18cm by 14cm, getting the area, use the formula length*width. This is 18*14= 252cm^2.
Then the triangle has the height, 9cm and base 18cm, finding the area use the formula, 1/2*base*height.
1/2*9*18= 81cm^2.
Add the two, 252+81= 333cm^2.
