What is the area of this figure

Help please

Step-by-step explanation:

A you see here, we have 3 different shapes. a Triangle, a big and small rectangle. Lets start with the triangle.

between the 8 in's, theres a gap. 5+4=9,

9+8+8=25. we have the length of the triangle.

9*25 divided by 2= 112.5. thats are area of the triangle.

for the bigger rectangle, 20*9=180, the area of the rectangle, and the smaller rectangle at the bottom is 16.

Now we add:

112.5+180+16=308.5  

hope this helps!
