Answer:

Area of the figure=126.5cm²

Explanation:

As we can see based on the shape of the figure, we can divide it into a;

→ Triangle

→ Rectangle

Formulas that we need are;

⇒ Area of triangle =1/2×base×height

⇒ Area of rectangle =length × width

Let's solve the area of the triangle first;

  • Area of triangle =1/2 × base × height
  • Area of triangle=1/2 × 11cm × 7cm
  • Area of triangle=38.5cm²

Then the area of the rectangle;

  • Area of rectangle =length × width
  • Area of rectangle =11cm × 8cm
  • Area of rectangle =88cm²

Finally, we add the triangle and rectangle together-

Area of Triangle + Area of Rectangle = 38.5cm²+88cm²

Area of the figure=126.5cm²
