Please help.. i’ll give you brainliest and a thanks! the answer choices are 16 36 28 26 22 42..

Answer:
Area= 26
Step-by-step explanation:
We can reduce this shape into 3 rectangles.
Rectangle 1: length=4 width=2
Rectangle 2: length=10 width=1
Rectangle 3: length=4 width=2
The formula for area of a rectangle is: l×w (length time width)
Now, just multiply!
4×2= 8
10×1= 10
4×2= 8
Add them all up.
8+10+8= 26
So, the area is 26cm^2.
Hope this helps!
