Answer:
52cm^2
Explanation:
I did the splitting in my head and that's pretty hard to explain like this so, just BTW if your confused on where I got my lengths from.
(7*6) + (5*2)
(42) + (10)
52
I separated them into an almost square and a rectangle, then I found the area of each rectangle and then added them together.
Hopefully this was useful and you didn't have any issues with this!
