Answer 1

84 sq meters

Explanation:

First, divide the shape in 2 or more parts so that you can find it step by step

Divide this shape in three parts:

One part (blue): 2 m and 3 m rectangle

Second part (orange): 5 m and 12 m rectangle

Third part (red): 6 m and 3 m rectangle

(you can also see this below: in the pic there are three parts so you figure out that which is the correct value for the sides)

Now, find area of each shape by multiplying its values:

1st shape: 3 x 2 = 6

2nd shape: 5 x 12 = 60

3rd shape: 6 x 3 = 18

As you have the area of all the different shapes,

add all of them:

6 + 60 + 18 = 84 sq meters

I hope this helps :)
