Answer:

Explanation:

a)

the figure is divided into three smaller rectangles named A, B and C:

area of rectangle A = Length * breadth = 12 * 3 = 36 m²

area of rectangle B = length * breadth = 5 * 6 = 30 m²

area of rectangle C = length * breadth = 15 * 3 = 45 m²

b)

total area = area of rectangle A + area of rectangle B + area of rectangle C

= 36 + 30 + 45 = 111 m²
