To find the area of the figure, we need to first calculate the area of each individual rectangle and then add them together.
1st rectangle: 9cm x 8cm = 72 cm²
2nd rectangle: 11cm x 9cm = 99 cm²
3rd rectangle: 13cm x 9cm = 117 cm²
Adding all the areas together:
72 cm² + 99 cm² + 117 cm² = 288 cm²
Therefore, the area of the figure is 288 cm².
None of the given options match this calculation, so there may be a mistake in the measurements provided for the figure.

My apologies for the error in my calculation. Let's try again:
Based on the measurements provided, the figure can be divided into three rectangles:
Rectangle 1: 9cm x 8cm = 72 cm²
Rectangle 2: 11cm x 9cm = 99 cm²
Rectangle 3: 13cm x 9cm = 117 cm²
Adding all the areas together:
72 cm² + 99 cm² + 117 cm² = 288 cm²
None of the options provided matches this calculation. Let's check the measurements again to ensure accuracy.
