Answer: The correct option is (C) 70 cm².
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the area of the figure shown in the picture.
We note that the figure is composed of rectangle and a triangle.
The length and width of the rectangle are
l = 10 cm and w = 5 cm.
So, the area of the rectangle is
The base (b) of the triangle is 5 cm and the height (h) is
h = 18 - 10 = 8 cm.
So, the area of the triangle is
Therefore, the area of the figure is given by
Thus, the required area of the given figure is 70 cm².
Option (C) is CORRECT.
