Answer:
118
Explanation:
The total area is the area of the large rectangle in the middle plus the areas of the two triangles.
The length of the entire rectangle is 5 cm + 5 cm + 4 cm = 14 cm.
The width of the rectangle is 7 cm.
Each triangle has a base of 4 cm and a height of 5 cm.
A = LW + 2 × (1/2)bh
A = (14 cm)(7 cm) + (4 cm)(5 cm)
A = 98 cm² + 20 cm²
A = 118 cm²
