610 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an irregular figure. We can split it up by the triangle and the rectangle on the bottom.

To find the area of the triangle, we must determine the base length. As we can see, the bottom of the arrow has the measure 15 cm, and you can see that the missing section in the base of the triangle is the same measure. Now we find the measure of the base by adding 15 + 8 + 8, which equals 31 cm.

Now we multiply and divide by 2 to find the area of the triangle:

20*31 * 1/2

= 310 cm²

Now, we find the area of the rectangle. We can see that its dimensions are 15 by 20. We can plug these values into the rectangle formula:

A = 15*20

A = 300 cm²

Now we add these values to find the total area:

310 cm² + 300 cm²

= 610 cm²
