Answer:

The area of the figure is
$56\ cm^(2)$

Explanation:

we know that

The area of the figure is equal to the area of two triangles plus the area of rectangle

so

A=2[(1)/(2)(b)(h)]+(L)(W)

we have

$b=1+4+1=6\ cm$ ----> the base of triangle

$h=2\ cm$ ---> the height of triangle

$L=11\ cm$ ----> the length of rectangle

$W=4\ cm$ ----> the width of rectangle

substitute

A=2[(1)/(2)(6)(2)]+(11)(4)

$A=56\ cm^(2)$
