Answer
The total area = 3.02 m$^{2}$
Work Step by Step
To find the area of the shape we simply need to break it into two shapes. A rectangle on the left side, and a parallelogram on the right. Then add the two separate areas together.
Area of a rectangle = $A$$_{rect}$ = $l$$w$
Therefore:
$A$$_{rect}$ = (0.8 m)(1.3 m)
$A$$_{rect}$ = 1.04 m$^{2}$
Area of a parallelogram = $A$$_{parallel}$ = $b$$h$
Therefore:
$A$$_{parallel}$ = (1.8 m)(1.1 m)
$A$$_{parallel}$ = 1.98 m$^{2}$
$A$$_{parallel}$ + $A$$_{rect}$ = Total Area = $A$$_{total}$
$A$$_{total}$ = 1.04 m$^{2}$ + 1.98 m$^{2}$
$A$$_{total}$ = 3.02 m$^{2}$
