Solution 1
The area of ABGH is equal to the
sum of the areas of ABCD and EFGH minus the area of overlap EFCD since it is counted twice in this
sum.
Thus, the area of ABGH is $(13 cm}^2) + (13 cm}^2) - (5
cm}^2)= 21 cm}^2$.
Solution 2
The area of ABCD is 13 cm2 and is equal to the sum of the areas
of ABFE and EFCD.
Since the area of EFCD is 5 cm2, then the area of ABFE is $(13 cm}^2) - (5 cm}^2) =
8 cm}^2$.
The area of ABGH is equal to the
sum of the areas of ABFE and EFGH or $(8 cm}^2) + (13 cm}^2) =
21 cm}^2$.
Let the area of the overlapped region, △KLN, be x cm2.
The area of △KLN is equal
to half of the area of $△
JKL,andsotheareaof△
JKNisalsoxcm^2$.
Since △JKL and △MLK are identical, then the
area of △MLN is also x cm2.
Thus, the area of the figure JKLMN
is 3x cm2, and so 3x=48 or x=16.

Since △JKL is
right-angled at K, then its area is
given by 21(JK)(KL).
Since the area of △JKL is
2x cm2=32 cm2, then 21(JK)(KL)=32 cm2 or 21(6 cm)(KL)=32 cm2, and so KL=332 cm.
We use the notation ∣△URT∣ to denote the area of
△URT, and similar notation
for other areas.
Since $∣PQRS∣+∣△
URT|=|PQTUS|,then$∣△
URT|=|PQTUS|-|PQRS|=117 cm}^2 - 108 cm}^2=9
cm}^2.Since$∣PQRU∣+∣△URT∣=∣△PQT∣$,then∣PQRU∣=∣△PQT∣−∣△ URT|=81
cm}^2 - 9 cm}^2=72 cm}^2.
