The area of the given shape is 240 units².
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1;
Area of given shape = Area of the rectangle + Area of the triangle.
The rectangle measures a length of 20 units and a width of 10 units. The area of any given rectangle is the multiplication of its length and width.
The area of the rectangle [tex]=(length)(width) = (20)(10) = 200[/tex].
So the area of the rectangle is 200 units².
Step 3:
The area of a triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2} (baselength)(height)[/tex]
The base length of the triangle = 20 units
and the height of the triangle is 4 units.
The triangle's area = [tex]\frac{1}{2} (20)(4) = \frac{1}{2} (80) = 40[/tex].
The area of the triangle is 40 units².
Step 4:
Area of the given shape = [tex]200 + 40 = 240.[/tex]
So the area of the given shape is 240 units².
