Answer: the third option is the correct answer.

Explanation:

We would divide the figure into two sections. A smaller rectangle whose length is 10 inches and its width would be 19 - 11 = 8 inches

The length of the larger rectangle would be 17 inches and its width would be 11 inches.

The formula for determining the area of a rectangle is expressed as

Area = length × width

The area of the smaller rectangle would be

10 × 8 = 80 inches²

The area of the larger rectangle would be

11 × 17 = 187 inches²

The area of the figure would be

80 + 187 = 267 inches²
