Solution and Explanation

(a) Area of rectangle ABCD = 2 x 10 = 20 cm
Area of rectangle DEFG = 10 x 2 = 20 cm2 
Total area of the figure = 20 + 20 = 40 cm
(b) There are 5 squares each of side 7 cm. 
Area of one square = 7 x 7 = 49 cm2 
Area of 5 squares = 49 x 5 = 245 cm2 
(c) Area of rectangle ABCD = 5 x 1 = 5 cm2 
Area of rectangle EFGH = 4 x 1 = 4 cm2 
Total area of the figure = 5 + 4 cm2
