Find the area of the figure pictured below

Answer:
54 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
you can draw a horizontal line through the 2 cm side to create a 2x7 cm rectangle with an area of 14
then you're left with a 4x10* cm rectangle with an area of 40
40+14 = 54
*it's 10 not 12 because you accounted for 2cm already
