Answer 1

`37in^2`

Explanation:

We can break up this figure into two bits, the longer rectangle at the top, and the smaller square at the bottom.

To find area if a rectangle, you do length x width. You can do this with the square, too. For the area of the square, you would do:

`3 * 3=9in^2`

For the area of the bigger rectangle, we know the length of it (7 at the top), so we now have to find the width. The only width number that is available to us is the 7 at the right, and the 3 at the left side of the square.

We can subtract these two numbers to get 4 for the width. We just have to multiply our length (7) by our width (4):

`7*4=28in^2`

Now that we have our areas of our smaller figures, we just need to add them together:

`9in^2 + 28in^2 = 37in^2`

The area of the figure is
`37in^2`
