Answer 1

To find the total area of the shape, calculate the area of each rectangle and add them together.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total area of the shape, we need to calculate the area of each rectangle and then add them together. Let's call the two rectangles A and B. Rectangle A has dimensions 5 cm by 3 cm, so its area is 5 cm x 3 cm = 15 cm². Rectangle B has dimensions 11 cm by 3 cm, so its area is 11 cm x 3 cm = 33 cm². Now, we can find the total area by adding the areas of both rectangles: 15 cm² + 33 cm² = 48 cm².

Answer 2

37

Step-by-step explanation:

you multiply 3 times 5 to get area for the rectangle that is higher. than you multiply 2 times 11 to get the area of lower rectangle. at the and you add them together. so 15+22=37
