Answer:

43 cm^2

Explanation:

Area of the triangle:

A = (1/2) x base x height

A = (1/2) x (2 cm + 4 cm) x 7 cm

A = (1/2) x (6 cm) x 7 cm

A = (1/2) x 42 cm^2

A = 21 cm^2

The area of the triangle is 21 cm^2

Area of the rectangle:

A = length x width

A = 11 cm x 2 cm

A = 22 cm^2

The area of the rectangle is 22 cm^2

Area of the figure = Area of the triangle + Area of the rectangle

Area of the figure = 21 cm^2 + 22 cm^2

Area of the figure = 43 cm^2
