KMartinez, this is the solution:

As you can see, we have one figure that we can separate in two rectangles. We need to calculate the area of each rectangle and add them, this way:

Rectangle A:

Length = 9

Width = 4

Area = 9 * 4 = 36 cm²

Rectangle B:

Length = 10 - 4 = 6

Width = 3

Area = 6 * 3 = 18 cm²

Now, we can calculate the total area:

Total area = Area of the rectangle A + Area of the rectangle B

Total area = 36 + 18

Total area = 54 cm²
