Answer: 94 square millimeters

Explanation:

The best way to solve this would be by separating it into three separate shapes.

First, solve the Big Rectangle:

Area of Big Rectangle = Length * Width

Area of Big Rectangle = 6 mm * 9mm

Area of Big Rectangle = 54 mm^2

Next solve the Small Rectangle:

Area of Small Rectangle = Length * Width

Area of Small Rectangle = 3mm * 4mm

Area of Small Rectangle = 12 mm^2

Next solve the Triangle:

Area of Triangle = 1/2 * Base * Height

Area of Triangle = 1/2 * 8 mm * 7 mm

Area of Triangle = 28 mm^2

Lastly, Add them all up:

54 mm^2 + 12mm^2 + 28mm^2

Total = 94 mm^2

Hope this helps!
