Answer:
Area = 140 sq. ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the figure into two shapes: rectangle and triangle.
Solve the area of the triangle first:
A = 1/2 bh
A = 1/2 (6)(4)
A = 1/2 (24)
A = 12
Solve the area of rectangle:
A = lw
A = (8)(16)
A = 128
Area of figure = area of triangle + area of rectangle
Area of figure = 12 + 128
Area = 140 sq. ft
