1) you have separated the figure into two rectangles and a square so we can find the areas one by one:
the area of the rectangles [tex]3.5 \times 14 = 49[/tex] there are two congruent rectangles so we multiply the number by 2 [tex]49 \times 2 = 98[/tex] the area of the square [tex]11 - (3.5 + 3.5) = 11 - 7 = 4 \\ \\ {4}^{2} = 16[/tex] the area of the whole shape: [tex]98 + 16 = 114[/tex] the final answer is 114m^2
