Answer 1

Answer:

    = 37 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the figure, we will split it into 2 separate shapes.

We have a long skinny rectangle and a shorter wider rectangle.

The long skinny rectangle is 15 cm by 2 cm

The area is given by

A = l*w

A = 15*2 = 20 cm^2

The shorter wider rectangle is 7 cm by (3-2) cm  or 7 cm by 1 cm

The side length of the bottom rectangle is found by subtracting the length of the skinny rectangle from the total side length.

( The drawing is not to scale)

The area is given by

A = l*w

A = 7 * 1 = 7 cm^2

To find the area of the figure, we add up the area of the two rectangles

A total figure = rectangle 1 + rectangle 2

                     = 30 + 7

                      = 37 cm^2
