O C. 107 f12
OD. 115ft2
E. 157 ft2

Answer 1

97ft²

Explanation:

The figure given will be divided into a square and a rectangle

Area of square = 5 * 5 = 25ft^2

Area of rectangle = 12ft*(11-5)

Area of rectangle = 12 * 6 = 72ft^2

The area of the figure = (12ft*6ft) + (5ft*5ft)

The area of the figure = (72ft²) + (25ft²)

The area of the figure = 97ft²
