Tia wants to hang a big letter T on the door of her bedroom. She plans to cut the T from cardboard and then paint it red. The dimensions of the T are shown in the figure. How much area does Tia need to paint if she paints only one side?

Answer:
1040 cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
If you separate the T into 2 rectangles, you can calculate the are of each one. (First one is 20*4 which equals 80, Second one is 16*60 which equals 960)
Then find the sum, 960+80=1040cm^2
cm^2 because it’s an area (2 dimensions)
