To find the area of the complex figure, we need to break it down into smaller shapes that we can calculate the area of. We can break this figure into two rectangles as follows:
Rectangle 1:
Length: 23 M
Width: 12 M
Rectangle 2:
Length: 31 M
Width: (69 - 23) M = 46 M
Now that we have both rectangles defined, we can calculate their areas:
Area of Rectangle 1 = Length x Width
A1 = 23 M * 12 M
A1 = 276 M^2
Area of Rectangle 2 = Length × Width
A2 = 31 M * 46 M
A2 = 1426 M^2
Now we can sum the areas of both rectangles to get the total area of the complex figure:
Total Area = A1 + A2
Total Area = 276 M^2 + 1426 M^2
Total Area = 1702 M^2
So, the area of the complex figure is 1702 square meters.
