Answer:
132cm^2
Step-by-step explanation:
to solve for the area of this we can split it into smaller shapes and sum the areas afterward-
the top rectangle has an area equal to Length x Width
4x7 = 28cm^2
the centre rectangle is done similarly-
7x8 = 56cm^2
lastly the two triangles which are solved with base x height divided by two
now since we know that the centre piece is 7cm across, and that the two side triangles are equal in size, that means that we know the base to be 19-7 divided by 2 which gives 6 each-
[tex]\frac{(6)(8)}{2}[/tex] (2) = (6)(8) = 48cm
now summing them we have 28 + 56 + 48 = 132cm^2
