How to do Area of this figure?

I don't want to do the problem for you but

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to divide the figure into 2 parts. Then, you find the area of both the rectangles. You will also have to subtract the 8 from 12 which is 4 and after that you can subtract 5 from 18 because in a rectangle the opposite sides are the same. After you do those step you find the area of the rectangles.

Formula: Area= base * height

After you have to add both of the area up.

And that it!!

Hope this helps!! :)
