Hope it helps you
Solution:
in the above figure I've given names to the points.
Area of the given figure=area of rectangle ABCD+area of rectangle DEJK+area of rectangle EFHI
So area of rectangle ABCD= L×B
=BC×AB
=8×2
=16cm²
area of rectangle DEJK=L×B
=KJ×KD
=KJ×(BC-AK)
=5×(8-5)
=5×3
=15cm²
area of rectangle EFHI=L×B
=FH×HI
=8×2
=16cm²
Area of the given figure=area of rectangle ABCD+area of rectangle DEJK+area of rectangle EFHI
=(16+15+16)cm²
=47cm²
therefore the area of the given figure is 47cm²
