1. **Problem:** Find the total area of the L-shaped figure by dividing it into two rectangles. 2. **Formula:** Area of a rectangle = length \times width. 3. **Step 1:** Identify the two rectangles. - Rectangle A1: width = 3 units, height = 1 unit (top row) - Rectangle A2: width = 2 units, height = 3 units (vertical column) 4. **Step 2:** Calculate each area. - $$A_1 = 3 \times 1 = 3$$ - $$A_2 = 2 \times 3 = 6$$ 5. **Step 3:** Find total area by adding both areas. - $$\text{Total Area} = A_1 + A_2 = 3 + 6 = 9$$ **Final answer:** Total Area = 9 square units.
