Answer:

113 cm²

Explanation:

You want the area of the given composite shape.

Composition

The shape is already divided for you into a lower part that is a trapezoid and an upper part that is a parallelogram.

Trapezoid

The area of the trapezoid is given by ...

A = 1/2(b1 +b2)h

A = 1/2(14 +7)(6) = 63 . . . . square centimeters

Parallelogram

The area of the parallelogram is given by ...

A = bh

A = (10)(5) = 50 . . . . square centimeters

Figure area

The area of the figure is the sum of the areas of its parts:

figure area = trapezoid area + parallelogram area

figure area = 63 cm² +50 cm² = 113 cm²

The area of the figure is 113 square centimeters.
