Answer:

64 cm^2

Explanation:

Split the figure into two parts (top and bottom rectangle)

TR : 2 x (12-5)*

2 x 7 = 14

*= Since there are a few ways to split it up but I chose to make the top one shorter so you have to subtract 5 from 12

BR : 10x5 = 50

Add together

14 + 50 =

64 cm^2

Hope this helps :)
