Answer:

69 meters squared

Explanation:

You can split the shape into two small rectangles by drawing a vertical line. Then, you can solve for the areas of the two rectangles separately and then add them together.

The larger rectangle would have an area of 5 * 12, or 60 m^2.
The smaller rectangle would have an area of 3 * 3, or 9 m^2.
Simply add those together and the total area would be 69 m^2.
