D. 42 cm2 is the answer

Area is measured in square units such as square inches, square feet or square meters. To find the area of a rectangle, multiply the length by the width. The formula is: A = L * W where A is the area, L is the length, W is the width, and * means multiply.

Answer:

Sorry to break it to ya but the other answer is wrong and the correct answer is A. 36 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Divide the figure into 2 figures.

2. Calculate the first figure by multiplying the length (7 cm) and width (4 cm).

3. After that, we get 28. Do the same to the other figure. (4 cm x 2 cm = 8 cm).

4. Combine the 2 areas to get your total area. (28 + 8 = 36 cm^2).

5. NEVER forget the "^2" meaning squared when calculating the area.

Hope this helps, have a good day/night. :)
