Answer:

107 square millimeters

Explanation:

You can make this problem easier by splitting this into pieces you already know how to solve. So, you can draw a line down the middle to get 2 rectangles whose formula are Length X Width. Now, use the side lengths 5x7=35 and 8x9=72.

Add the 2 area of rectangles together to get 107 which is your total area.
