The area of the shape is 396 cm²
To determine the area of the shape, we have to know that the formula for calculating the area of a rectangle is expressed as;
A = lw
Such that the parameters are;
- A is the area of the rectangle
- l is the length of the rectangle
- w is the width of the rectangle
Now, substitute the values, we get;
Area = 27(10)
multiply the values, we get;
Area = 270cm²
For the second rectangle, we have;
Area = 14(9)
multiply the values, we have;
Area = 126 cm²
Add the values of the area, we have;
Total area = 126 + 270
Total area = 396 cm²
