Answer:

132cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) You chop off the tiny rectangle on the left side and think of it as a separate problem.

2.) To find the area of the tiny one, you multiply the length and width ( 6cm and 4cm). Now you have the area of the tiny rectangle, which is 24cm².

3.) Now, you have to find the area of the big rectangle. You multiply length and width (9cm and 12cm) and you have the area of the big rectangle, 108cm².

4.) Finally, you add the areas of both rectangles (24cm² and 108cm²) to get 132cm².

Answer:

[tex]A_{total} = 132\ cm^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Determine the area of the left rectangle

[tex]A = l * w[/tex]

[tex]A = 9\ cm * 12\ cm[/tex]

[tex]A = 108\ cm^2[/tex]

Step 2:  Determine the area of the right rectangle

[tex]A = l * w[/tex]

[tex]A = 4\ cm * 6\ cm[/tex]

[tex]A = 24\ cm^2[/tex]

Step 3:  Determine the total area

[tex]A_{total} = 108\ cm^2 + 24\ cm^2[/tex]

[tex]A_{total} = 132\ cm^2[/tex]

Answer: [tex]A_{total} = 132\ cm^2[/tex]
