Answer:
84 square units
Equation: (8 x 3) + (5 x 12) = 84
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we split one rectangle from the other. We will split the part where it says 8 x 3.
8 x 3 = 24
(24 is the first rectangle.)
Next we have the larger rectangle at the bottom.
We do 8 - 3 first because we cut off the top part.
8 - 3 = 5
Now we know the bottom rectangle measures: 5 x 12
5 x 12 = 60
Now we add both of the squares areas together:
24 + 60 = 84
