Answer 1

Answer:

17 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

First I cut this figure into 2 rectangles. One big and small one. (the big one is on top of the small rectangle).

For the big rectangle, I multiplied its length by its width.

The area of the big rectangle: 3cm * 5cm = 15cm²

For the smaller rectangle, I also multiplied its length and width.

The area of the small rectangle: 1cm * 2 cm = 2cm²

Add up its areas: 15+2

To get 17cm² as your final answer
