Answer:
74 units squared
Explanation:
we know that the area of a square or rectangle is A = L × w
so we should just separate the object into it's individual rectangles/squares, solve for their areas, then add them together.
so I'll start with the middle square its length is 8 and width is 8 too.
A = 8 × 8
A = 64
now we'll move on to the other small ones to the side.
the one on the right side it's length is 2 and width is 2.
A = 2 × 2
A = 4
and then the last one on the left, Length is 3, width is 2.
A = 2 × 3
A = 6
now we'll add up all of the areas to get the total area.
Total = 64 + 4 + 6
Total = 74 units squared
