Step-by-step solution

2 steps

To find the area of the figure, we can divide it into two non-overlapping rectangles. There are two common ways to do this, and both should yield the same result.

Method 1: Divide into a left vertical rectangle and a right horizontal rectangle.

  1. Calculate the area of the left vertical rectangle.

    The width of this rectangle is 3 units (from the bottom segment).
    The height of this rectangle is 7 units (from the left side).

    Area1=width×height=3×7=21 square units\text{Area}_1 = \text{width} \times \text{height} = 3 \times 7 = 21 \text{ square units}

  2. Calculate the area of the right horizontal rectangle.

    The total width of the figure is 1
