The given image can be divided into two parallelograms.

The area of a parallelogram is defined by


A=b* h

Let's find each area


A_1=11\operatorname{cm}*5\operatorname{cm}=55(cm)^2
A_2=7\operatorname{cm}*5\operatorname{cm}=35(cm)^2

Then, we add these areas


A=A_1+A_2=55(cm)^2+35(cm)^2=90(cm)^2

Hence, the area of the figures is 90 square centimeters.
