What is the area of the figure?

a. 180 square inches

b. 220 square inches

c. 48 square inches

d. 96 square inches

Let’s separate the figure into 2 parts to answer the question easier.
If we seperate he figure into 2 reasonable shapes, we get a rectangle with a width of 8 and a length of 20 and another shape with a width of 4 and a length of 5.

All we need to do to solve this question is to find the areas of both and add them together.
Let’s use the equation wl=a or width*length=area, and insert the known values for the first shape.
8*20=160
Now repeat for the second shape.
4*5=20
Finally, add the two together to get he total area.
160+20=180
The shape has an area of 180 square inches.
Hope this helps!
