Answer:
56cm²
Explanation:
Because this is an irregular shape, you have to split it into two shapes and find the area of each one. Then you can add those two areas together to find the total area of the figure. There are many ways you can split it but the way I did it left me with the equation (12·3)+(4·5). Then all you have to do is multiply and add which will give you a total of 56cm².
