Answer:
[tex] \huge \colorbox{blue}{$107 cm^2$}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
to understand this
you need to know about:
let's solve:
there are two rectangles
rectangle-1:
[tex] \quad \: = 9 \times 8 \\ \quad \: = 72[/tex]
rectangle-2:
[tex] \quad \: = 5 \times 7 \\ \quad \: = 35[/tex]
area of the complex shape
- rectangle-1+rectangle-2
- 72+35
- 107 cm²
