Find the area. Some please explain

since we are dealing with composite figures, we need to find the anwser to each shape.
A = 16 x 6 = 96
Since we do not have an exact length, we have to find the difference (subtraction). 14, bottom length of composite figure, minus 6 (length of rectangle) equals 8.
Now, you can use this process for the width. 16, width of shape, 2 half-width of rectangle, equals 14.
A = 8 x 14 = 112
So, 112 + 96 = 208 is your anwser
