Answer:

37 cm

Explanation:

You can essentially split this shape up into two rectangles - the upper box and the lower box. The upper box's sides are 2cm and 11 cm, so the area is 22 cm. The lower box's sides are 3 cm and 5 cm, so the area is 15 cm. Add them together and you get 37 cm.

Answer:

Explanation:

so there is one side we do not know.

you can actually add the 2 4cm sides, and get 8cm. then you add the 3cm from the bottom and get 11, and this would be the unknown side. take 11x2, and get 22 for the area for the first section. Then 5x3 for the bottom part and you can get 15 cm. Add them together, and get 37. 37 square feet.
