Answer:
Area = 96 square cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Area of the figure = (2 x Area of triangles) + Area of square
[tex]Area \ of \ triangle = \frac{1}{2} \times base \ height = \frac{1}{2} \times 8\times 4 = 16cm^2\\\\Area \ of \ square = side \times side = 8 \times 8 = 64cm^2[/tex]
Therefore, [tex]Area \ of \ the\ figure = (2 \times 16) + 64 = 32 + 64 = 96cm^2[/tex]
