To find the area of the given figure, we need to break it up into smaller shapes. Since the figure appears to be a rectangle with a smaller rectangle and square cut out, we can find the areas of each section and subtract the smaller areas from the larger area.
1. Main Rectangle: 20 cm (width) * 19 cm (height) = 380 sq cm
2. Smaller Rectangle: 3 cm (width) * 19 cm (height) = 57 sq cm
3. Square: 17 x 17 = 289 sq cm
Now subtract the smaller areas from the larger area:
Main Rectangle area - Smaller Rectangle area - Square area:
380 sq cm - 57 sq cm - 289 sq cm = 34 sq cm
The area is 34 square centimeters.
