Answer:
192cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
First, split the shape into 2 rectangles to get the area of both shapes.
(Imagine cutting through the shape coming down the centre line)
1st Shape:
19cm x 8cm
= 152cm²
2nd Shape:
4cm x (18cm - 8cm)
= 4cm x 10cm
= 40cm²
Then, add the area of the 2 shapes to get the area of the full shape.
152cm² + 40cm²
= 192cm²
