Answer: A = 235 cm²
Explanation: The figure has not a regular shape, but we can divide it to other figures that are easier to calculate the area.
For example, we can divide this figure in 2:
1) A square of side 9;
2) A rectangle of sides 14 and 11;
The image below represents what it is described.
Area of quadrilateral is calculated as A = length x width
Since both rectangle and square are quadrilateral, area of each will be
= 9.9
= 81
= 11.14
= 154
The area of the shape is the sum of each part we calculated:
= 154 + 81
= 235
The area of the shape is 235 cm².
