Answer 1

164
`m^2`

Explanation:

In order to find the area of this shape, we need to find the area of the orange rectangle and the area of the empty space. The difference of these two areas will be the area of the shape.

We know that the length of the rectangle is 12 m and that the width of the rectangle is 15 m

`(12)(15)=180`

As we know that each side of the empty space is 5 m, we know that the length of the empty space is 2 m. We also know that the width is 8 m

`(2)(8)=16`

Now we can find the difference of these areas

`180-16=164`
