    Answer:

      880 cm²

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Extending the vertical segments divides the figure into three rectangles:

      left: 7 cm by 13 cm

      middle: 38 cm by 18 cm . . . . . (overall height is 8+7+23 = 38 cm)

      right: 21 cm by 5 cm

    The total area is the sum of the areas of these rectangles. Each area is the product of the rectangle dimensions.

      A = (7 cm)(13 cm) +(38 cm)(18 cm) +(21 cm)(5 cm) = (91 +684 +105) cm²

      A = 880 cm²
