First i cut the shape so its a rectangle on the top and there is a vertical rectangle. Then you find the lengths and to do that for the first rectangle(the horizontal one) you add 75, 75 and 75 to get the length. Then multiply 225(the sum of the 3 75s) by 75 (width) which gets you 16,875.
That is the area of the first rectangle
Now for the vertical rectangle you simply multiply the length and width, 75x125. That equals 9,375. Now add.
