Question

Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a rectangle that extends to a smaller rectangle at the bottom left. The length of the bottom rectangle is much lesser on the right. The dimensions are as follows: The larger rectangle shows the right side as 4, truncated bottom length as 3, and left side end to end as 5 including the extended rectangle. The smaller rectangle shows the bottom length as 2. There are 5 right angled symbols to show the perpendicular lines of the two rectangles.

Answer 1

Split the figure into two rectangles: the left one is 2 by 5 (area = 10) and the right one is 3 by 4 (area = 12).
Total area = 10 + 12 = 22 square units.
