Answer:

12cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

a=l·w

the easiest way to find the area is to break up the shapes.

the smaller shape is 1cm by 2cm

1·2= 2 cm

the larger shape is 5cm by 2cm

5·2= 10 cm

add them

2+10= 12cm

Answer:

12cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

These are two rectangles if we divide.

So,

Area of rectangle = length × breadth

So we will name the bigger rectangle as R1 and the smaller rectangle as R2.

So,

Area of R1 = l × b

Area of R1 = 5×4

Area of R1 = 5 × (4-2)

Area of R1 = 5 × 2

Area of R1 = 10 cm^2

Area of R2 = l × b

Area of R2 = (4-2) ×1

Area of R2 = 2 × 1

Area of R2 = 2cm^2

So,

Area of complete figure = Area of R1 + Area of R2

Area of complete figure = 10 + 2

Therefore, Area of complete figure = 12cm^2

Hope it helps!!!!
