Explanation:

First we have to divide the figure into 2 rectangles.

Area of rectangle 1= L*B

9*4=36cm2

Area of rectangle 2=L*B

18*5=90cm2

Total area =36+90=126cm2

Answer:

106cm²

Method:

Draw a line separating the two rectangles so you have one with 5cm by 10cm and the other 4cm by 14cm.

5cm by 10cm:

area = 5 × 10 = 50cm²

4cm by 14cm:

area = (4 × 10) + (4 × 4) = 56cm²

area all together:

50cm² + 56cm² = 106cm²
