Hi there!

We can divide this shape into 3 rectangles.

1st rectangle dimensions: 5m × 3m

2nd rectangle: 12m × 4m

3rd rectangle: 2m × 5m

Find the areas using the equation:

A = l × w

1st rectangle: 5 × 3 = 15m²

2nd rectangle: 12 × 4 = 48m²

3rd rectangle: 2 × 5 = 10m²

Add the areas up:

15 + 48 + 10 = 73m²
