Answer:
A = 44m²
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the picture.
We have two rectangles 8m x 4m and 6m x 2m.
The formula of an area of a reactangle:
A = wl
w - width, l - length
Rectangle 1:
A₁ = 8m × 4m = 32m²
Rectangle 2:
A₂ = 6m × 2m = 12m²
The area of the shape:
A = A₁ + A₂ → A = 32m² + 12m² = 44m²
