Answer 1

To find the total area of the piece of jewelry, we need to find the area of each individual rectangle and then sum them up.

First rectangle: 9 cm x 2 cm = 18 square cm
Second rectangle: 3 cm x 2 cm = 6 square cm
Third rectangle: 2 cm x 2 cm = 4 square cm
Fourth rectangle: 3 cm x 2 cm = 6 square cm

Total area = 18 + 6 + 4 + 6 = 34 square cm

Therefore, the total area of the piece of jewelry is 34 square cm.
