To find the total area we have to find the area of 3 separate shapes, then add them together.
The first shape is the rectangle on the top. Find a = bh.
a = 16(8)
a = 128
The second shape is the rectangle on the bottom. Find a = bh
a = 6(5)
a = 30
The last shape is the triangle on the right. Find
a = 1/2bh
a = 1/2(5)(8)
a = 20
Then add 128 + 30 + 20 to get 178 m^2 as the final answer.
