Geometry

The formula to find area is .

We are given the length and the width from the problem, so we can plug those values into our equation and solve.

*Area is the number of square units inside a shape, which is why area is always written with square units.

To find the area of the figure above, we need to slip the figure into two rectangles.

Using our area formula, , we can solve for the area of both of our rectangles

To find our final answer, we need to add the areas together.
