1 answer

To find the total area of the shape, we first need to calculate the area of each individual rectangle and then add them together.

Rectangle 1: 10 units x 4 units = 40 square units
Rectangle 2: 1 unit x 4 units = 4 square units
Rectangle 3: 3 units x 1 unit = 3 square units
Rectangle 4: 1 unit x 1 unit = 1 square unit

Total Area = 40 + 4 + 3 + 1 = 48 square units

Therefore, the total area of the shape is 48 square units.
