Please please give answer

Then the total area is  116 cm^2 which agrees with answer D

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice we need to calculate the area of two rectangles (one larger at the bottom and a smaller one on top)

The Area of a rectangle is the product: base x height

In our case :

Area of Big rectangle = 12 cm x 7 cm = 84 cm^2

Area of smaller rectangle = 8 cm x 4 cm = 32 cm^2

Then the total area is: 84 cm^2 + 32 cm^2 = 116 cm^2

hi,

you half the rectangle that you ae asking about so then you would see the scale factor of 1/2 the one u have selected, the one on top is half.

hope this !
