A design has a square of side 8 cm attached to a rectangle 11 cm by 3 cm. What is the total area?
Note
Add the two separate areas: square area 8×8 = 64; rectangle area 11×3 = 33; total = 97 cm². For a shaded or remaining part, find each simple area first, then subtract the part that is removed. Treat the square and rectangle as two separate simple shapes. Add their areas only if they are attached without overlapping, and keep the answer in square units.
