Answer:

99 square millimeters

Answer given by the other user is correct. Merely giving the steps required to solve such a problem

Explanation:

Break up the figure into 3 rectangles as shown in the attached image

The area of the top rectangle with size 11 x 3 = 33 square millimeters

The area of the small rectangle is 2 x 5 = 10 square millimeters

The area of the vertical rectangle is 4 x 14 = 56 square millimeters

Total area = 33 + 10 + 56

= 99 square millimeters
