Answer:

235 cm²

Explanation:

Find area of the large rectangle on the bottom. To do that, find its length and width, then multiply them together.

Length of big rectangle=20 cm

Width of big rectangle=9 cm

20x9=180 cm²

Next, find the area of the small rectangle on the top. To do that, find its length and width, then multiply them together.

Length of small rectangle=11 cm

Width of small rectangle=5 cm

I found the width by subtracting 9 from 14, since the 9 cm is part of the large rectangle.

11x5=55 cm²

Add the areas of the two rectangles.

55+180=235 cm²
