Find the area of the given figure

The correct answer is: 32 sq. cm

Consider the left side of the rectangle is A and the right side is B.
We need to calculate the area of rectangle A and rectangle B.
Area of rectangle is given by formula
Area of rectangle = length × breadth
For rectangle A:
length = 4 cm
breadth = 5- 3 = 2 cm
Area of a rectangle A = 4 × 2 = 8 sq. cm
For rectangle B:
length = 8 cm
breadth =  3 cm
Area of rectangle  B= 8 × 3 = 24 sq. cm
Total area is the sum of area of rectangle A and rectangle B.
Total area =  area of rectangle A+ area of rectangle B
Total area = 8 + 24
Total area = 32 sq. cm
