Area of the figure = 12.54 cm² (option B)
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve the question, we will divide the figure into shapes we can find their areas:
Area of A = Area of rectangle
Area of rectangle = length × width
length = 1.9cm, width = 1cm
Area of A = 1.9 × 1
Area of A = 1.9 cm²
Area of rectangle B = Area of rectangle
length = 5.6cm, width = 1.9cm
Area of B = 5.6 × 1.9
Area of B = 10.64 cm²
Area of the figure = Area of A + Area of B
Area of the figure = 1.9 + 10.64
Area of the figure = 12.54 cm² (option B)
