What is the area of this figure? enter your answer in the box. in² a parallelogram with a right triangle created inside it with a short leg length of 16 inches and a long leg length of 20 inches. a triangle attached to the top of the parallelogram has a short leg measurement of 8 inches.

I constructed the figure with the information that you provide, please check the picture.
Since there is a right triangle inside the parallelogram, the parallelogram is a rectangle with  and ; remember that the area of a rectangle is (length)(width), so we can substitute our values to find its area:


On the other hand, the triangle attached to the top of the parallelogram has , and ; since the area of a triangle is , we can substitute our values to get:



Now the only thing lefts is add the area of the parallelogram and the triangle to get our total area:


We can conclude that the area of the figure is .
