1 answer

To find the total area of the shape, you need to sum the areas of all the rectangles.

Given:

  • Rectangle 1: 40 cm²
  • Rectangle 2: 16 cm²
  • Rectangle 3: 20 cm²

Total Area = Area of Rectangle 1 + Area of Rectangle 2 + Area of Rectangle 3 Total Area = 40 cm² + 16 cm² + 20 cm²

Now, let's calculate it:

Total Area = 40 + 16 + 20 Total Area = 76 cm²

So, the total area is 76 cm².
