Answer 1

Given

The figure,

To find:

The area of the figure.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Then,

$\begin{gathered} Area\text{ }of\text{ }the\text{ }figure=Area\text{ }of\text{ }rectangle\text{ }ABCD+Area\text{ }of\text{ }rectangle\text{ }EFGH \\ =4\times5+12\times2 \\ =20+24 \\ =44m^2 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the area of the figure is 44m².
