answer: 27.42 cm squared
explanation: separate the figure into three simple shapes (2 triangles, 1 rectangle)(picture of the three shapes attached)
solve for area of each shape
trangles: 1/2 x b x h
1/2 x 1.1 x 4.8 = 2.64
1/2 x 1.2 x 5.9 = 3.54
rectangle: l x w
3.6 x 5.9 = 21.24
finally, add all parts and you have your answer.
2.64 + 3.54 + 21.24 = 27.42
