Answer:
[tex]A_{total} = 217\ cm^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Determine the area of the bottom rectangle
[tex]A = l * w[/tex]
[tex]A = 14\ cm * 11\ cm[/tex]
[tex]A = 154\ cm^2[/tex]
Step 2: Determine the area of the top rectangle
[tex]A = l * w[/tex]
[tex]A = 7\ cm * (20\ cm - 11\ cm)[/tex]
[tex]A = 7\ cm * 9\ cm[/tex]
[tex]A = 63\ cm^2[/tex]
Step 3: Determine the total area
[tex]A_{total} = 154\ cm^2 + 63\ cm^2[/tex]
[tex]A_{total} = 217\ cm^2[/tex]
Answer: [tex]A_{total} = 217\ cm^2[/tex]
