Answer:
To solve, you must split the figure into 2 parts --> a rectangle and a trapezoid. The separating 'line' will be where the figure indents and starts to jut out. That separating 'line' will be 9 cm long.
<h3>Area of the rectangle:</h3>
A = bh
A = 9(15)
A = 135
The area of the rectangle is 135 cm².
<h3>Area of the trapezoid:</h3>A =
A =
A =
A =
A =
A =
The area of the trapezoid is 162 cm².
<h3>Area of the figure:</h3>To find the area of the figure, you must add the area of the rectangle and the area of the trapezoid together.
A = 135 cm² + 162 cm²
A = 297 cm²
<h2>So your answer is --> C) 297 cm²</h2>
I hope this helps!
