What the area of the figure

Answer 1

Any ideas?

Answer 2

You need the area of a rectangle and triangle formulas.

Answer 3

i think he's written the hypotenuse of triangle as 8 cm

Answer 4

You know the area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height!
You are given the length of the rectangle and the right side part= 8cm!
Thus the height of the triangle will be the length of the rectangle - 8!!
AND THEN GET HEIGHT and use area of rectangle and the area of the triangle formula to get your answer! :)
