Area of the figure is 532 m².
Solution:
In the given image the shape is splitted into 2 shapes.
First shape is the square.
In square 4 sides are equal.
Area of the square = side × side
= 18 m × 18 m
Area of the square = 324 m²
Second shape is the triangle in the bottom.
Base of the triangle = 18 m + 8 m = 26 m
Height of the triangle = 16 m
Area of the triangle = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times{\text{base}}\times{\text{height}}[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{2}\times16\times26[/tex]
Area of the triangle = 208 m²
Area of the given shape = area of the square + area of the triangle
= 324 m² + 208 m²
Area of the given shape = 532 m²
Hence area of the figure is 532 m².
