Find the area of the figure

Step-by-step explanation:

This is simplest if we subtract the area of the missing rectangle from the area of a complete rectangle.

A=9(3+6+3)-2(6)

A=9(12)-12

A=108-12

A=96 cm^2

96 cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

this shape is easiest to find the area of by finding the area of a rectangle of this size and then subtracting the small rectangle cut out

the bottom edge is 12cm long, (3cm + 6cm + 3cm)

if the figure were a rectangle without a notch cut into it the equation would be

12 cm x 9cm = 108 cm^2

in this problem we also calculate the area of the notch rectangle, and subtract that from the area of the larger rectangle

(12 cm x 9cm) - (2cm x 6cm) =

108cm - 12cm = 96 cm^2

(x+3)(x+7)
