Please help! I don't get this

Step-by-step explanation:

Break down the figure into two shapes.

SHAPE A: The larger one. We can infer the size of the bottom is 6 cm because it's the same size as it's top counterpart. Same goes for the left side, which will have a measure of 7 cm.

SHAPE B: The smaller one. We're going to use the same method as we did with the first one, and infer the lengths of the other sides using the existing ones.

To calculate area, it's length times width.

SHAPE A: Its two side measures are 6 and 7, which equates to 42 cm^2.

SHAPE B: Its two side measures are 2 and 3, which equates to 6 cm^2.

If you add the two, the total area is 44 cm^2.

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.
