Answer:

104

Explanation:

1. Split the figure by the line the larger portion creates.

2. Calculate the area of the left-hand side... 7 · 8 = 56cm squared.

3. You know that the total length of the figure is 15cm. You've already "used" 7cm of that. So... 15 - 7 = 8.

4. Now, we simply do 6 · 8 = 48. Almost there!

5. Finally, add the values of the left side and the right side (48 + 56 = 104)

6. YOUR ANSWER IS 104 cm squared.
