No.
4 meters is 400 centimeters, so is smaller than 450 centimeters.
The answer is the second choice, or B; 240 ft^2.
You have to find the area of all four triangles and just add those all together.
Two of the triangles have an area of
5*16=80
Multiply that by two
80*2=160
The other two smaller triangles have an area of
8*5=40
Multiply that by 2 also
40*2=80
Add 160+80 and the answer is 240.
