The area of the shape is;
[tex]90cm^2[/tex]
Here, we to get the area of the shape
To do this, we will need to divide the shape into fragments
By completing the line, we have the fragments as follows;
A rectangle that measures 8 cm by 10 cm
And;
A triangle of base 4 cm and height of 5 cm
The area of the rectangle is the products of its two sides
We have this as;
[tex]8\text{ }\times10=80cm^2[/tex]
The area of the triangle is product of its base and height, divided by two
We have this as;
[tex]\frac{1}{2}\times5\times4=10cm^2[/tex]
The area of the shape is the sum of these areas
We have this as;
[tex]80cm^2+10cm^2=90cm^2[/tex]
