To determine the area of the figure, we will compute the area of the parallelogram and the area of the trapezoid.

Recall that the area of a parallelogram is given by the following formula:


A=base*height.

Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is:


A=14cm*23cm=322cm^2.

Now, the area of a trapezoid is given by the following formula:


A=(base+Base)/(2)*height.

Therefore, the area of the trapezoid is:


A=(34cm+15cm)/(2)*19cm=465.5cm^2

Finally, we get that the area of the whole figure is:


322cm^2+465.5cm^2=787.5cm^2.

Answer:


\begin{equation*} 787.5cm^2. \end{equation*}
