Answer:
64 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
We can draw a horizontal line which splits the figure into two rectangles.
The rectangle at the top has width 12 cm and height 4.5 cm and an area of 12 x 4.5 = 54 cm²
The rectangle at the bottom has a width of 5 cm and a height of 2 cm with an area of 5 x 2 = 10 cm²
Total area of figure = 54 + 10 = 64 cm²
