Answer:
20 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
Divide the shape into two rectangles (see attached image)
Area of a rectangle = width × length
Area of rectangle 1
⇒ area = 2 × 3
= 6 in²
Area of rectangle 2
⇒ area = (5 - 3) × 7
= 2 × 7
= 14 in²
Total area
Total area = area of rectangle 1 + area of rectangle 2
= 6 + 14
= 20 in²
