Answers

GPT 3.5
To find the total area, we need to calculate the area of each component and then add them together.

1. The area of the rectangle on the left:
Length = 9 cm
Width = 2 cm
Area = length x width = 9 cm x 2 cm = 18 cm²

2. The area of the rectangle in the middle:
Length = 3 cm
Width = 2 cm
Area = length x width = 3 cm x 2 cm = 6 cm²

3. The area of the rectangle on the right:
Length = 2 cm
Width = 2 cm
Area = length x width = 2 cm x 2 cm = 4 cm²

Total area = 18 cm² + 6 cm² + 4 cm² = 28 cm²

Therefore, the total area of the piece of jewelry is 28 cm².
