1) you have separated the figure into two rectangles and a square so we can find the areas one by one:
the area of the rectangles
[tex]3.5 \times 14 = 49[/tex]
there are two congruent rectangles so we multiply the number by 2
[tex]49 \times 2 = 98[/tex]
the area of the square
[tex]11 - (3.5 + 3.5) = 11 - 7 = 4 \\ \\ {4}^{2} = 16[/tex]
the area of the whole shape:
[tex]98 + 16 = 114[/tex]
the final answer is 114m^2
