Answer: 60 cm squared.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, lets multiply 8 by 9 in the square, which equals to 72.
Then lets keep the 72 cm squared.
The first part of the "L" shape is a 2 by 4 feet area which is 8 cm squared.
We can estimate the rest by subtracting 2 from 4 which is 2.
Then 2 * 2 is 4, and then 8 cm squared plus 4 cm squared is 12 cm squared.
72 cm squared minus 12 cm squared is 60 cm squared.
Answer: 60 cm squared.
I have to put "squared" because the cm ^ 2 does not come out as cm2 (with the 2 on top.)
