Answer:

Explanation:

Look at the picture.

The formula of an area of a rectangle:

$A = lw\\\\l-length\\w-width$

RECTANGLE 2m × 3m:

$A_1=(2)(3)=6\ m^2$

RECTANGLE 5m × 8m:

$A_2=(5)(8)=40\ m^2$

RECTANGLE 2m × 12m:

$A_3=(2)(12)=24\ m^2$

The area of this figure:

$A=A_1+A_2+A_3\\\\A=6+40+24=70\ m^2$
