Answer:
132 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of the figure, start by dividing the figure into smaller rectangles.
Area of figure
= area of shaded rectangle +area of unshaded rectangle
[tex]\textcolor{steelblue}{\text{Area of rectangle= length ×breadth}}[/tex]
Shaded rectangle
Length= 4 cm
Breadth= 6 cm
Area
= 4(6)
= 24 cm²
Unshaded rectangle
Length= 9 cm
Breadth= 12 cm
Area
= 9(12)
= 108 cm²
After finding the area of each rectangle, we can add the two areas together to obtain the total area of the figure.
Area of figure
= 108 +24
= 132 cm²
