Answer:224

Explanation:

Okay as you can see, the figure is divided into 3 shapes. 2 rectangles and a right trapezoid.

You can solve the area of the rectangle on the far right by doing 9x6 leaving you with 54.

For the other rectangles you can do 11x12 equaling 132. I got 11 because you know the top is 17 and as you see at the bottom that length you used for the first rectangle is 6, so you do 17-6. You get 12 from adding 9+3.

For the right trapezoid the formula is A = ( a + b ) x h/2. So you can plug it in and say A=(12+7) x 4/2= 38.

You then add all the areas together (54+132+38= 224) leaving you with the answer of 224.
