Answer:
96cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
1.) You can split the shape into 2: a rectangle and a triangle.
2.) The formula to find the area of the rectangle is:
length × width.
10 (length) × 8 (width) = 80cm²
3.) Then you can find the area of the triangle. The formula for finding the area of a triangle is:
½ × base × height.
½ × 4 (base) × 8 (height) = 16cm²
3.) Add the two answers together to give you the combined and total area of the shape.
80cm² + 16cm² = 96cm²
