Answer:

Area of the rectangular logo is 56cm²

Explanation:

If we look at the picture the 2 trapezoids make a rectangle.

The length of the rectangle = 9+5= 14 cm and the breadth = 4 cm

Area of the rectangle = Length * breadth

A= 14*4= 56cm²

Area of the rectangular logo is 56cm²

Area of the trapezoid = 28 cm²

Area of the trapezoid = 1/2height( base1+ base2)

= 1/2 (4) ( 5+9)

= 2(14)= 28 cm²

Area of 2 trapezoids = 28 cm²+28 cm²= 56 cm²
