To find the total area of the shape, you need to sum the areas of the individual rectangles.
Given:
- Rectangle 1: 10 cm²
- Rectangle 2: 6 cm²
- Rectangle 3: 6 cm²
Now, add these areas together:
Total Area = Area of Rectangle 1 + Area of Rectangle 2 + Area of Rectangle 3 Total Area = 10 cm² + 6 cm² + 6 cm² Total Area = 22 cm²
Therefore, the total area of the shape is 22 cm².
