Answer:
The total area would be 61cm
Explanation:
You spit the shape (in this case only once at the 4cm) and do the rectangle and the square separately for the 4x4 square you multiply so 4 x 4= 16cm and the rectangle with 9x5 (because the whole side would not be 9 you would subtract 4 to make it 5) so 9 x 4= 45. You add 45 and 16 to get 61 and then you add the units so it would be 61cm^2
