The figure has 8 identical rectangles (breadth 5 cm each) and a shaded rectangle (perimeter 22 cm).<br><br>&bull; Shaded rectangle: perimeter = 22 cm, so length + breadth = 11 cm.<br>&bull; From the figure, the breadth of the shaded rectangle equals the breadth of the identical rectangles = 5 cm.<br>&bull; So length of shaded rectangle = 11 &minus; 5 = 6 cm. Area = 6 &times; 5 = 30 cm&sup2;.<br>&bull; From the figure, the length of each identical rectangle can be found using the alignment.<br>&bull; Length of each identical rectangle = 12 cm. Area each = 12 &times; 5 = 60 cm&sup2;.<br>&bull; Total area = 8 &times; 60 + 30 = 480 + 30 = 510 cm&sup2;.<br><br>Final Answer: 510 cm&sup2;
