Answer:
405 square cm
Explanations:
The given cross is made up of 5 squares. The length of each side of the square is 9cm.
Area of the figure = 5 * area of a square
Find the area of a square
Area of a square = 9cm * 9cm
Area of a square = 81cm²
Determine the area of the figure
Area of the figure = 5 * 81
Area of the figure = 405 square cm
Hence the area of the shaded region is 405 square cm
