Alright.
We have to split the figure up. For instance, we can make it so we have 2 squares up top and one rectangle on the bottom.
Let's find the area of the squares. We know that the width of the left square = 12 m and that the length of the right square = 23 m. [tex]A=L*W[/tex] so we have 12m * 23m = 276 m^2. But there are two squares, so let's add another value (or multiply by 2). 276m + 276m = 552 m.
Now, let's solve for the rectangle. In order to find the height, use the width value from the left square, 12 m, and subtract from 31 m. 31 - 12 m = 19m
We already know the width, so let's use the area formula! 19m * 69m = 1,311m^2
Now, let's add up the values for the final answer 1,311 + 552 = total area of 1,863m^2
