Answer:

68 m²

Explanation:

we have two rectangles side by side, the larger one measures 8m by 6m, the smaller one 5m by 4m, the 4 meters is the difference between the base (10m) and the 6m side, so we find the areas and add them using the formula A = L x W, the result is not in the choices but it is right.

6 * 8 + 4 * 5 = remember PEMDAS

48 + 20 =

68 m²
