You can do this three ways as shown by the three figures above.
In the first figure, the area is
(3 mm * 9 mm) + (6 mm * 5 mm)
= 27 mm^2 + 30 mm^2
= 57 mm^2
In the second figure, the area is
(3 mm * 4 mm) + (9 mm * 5 mm)
= 12 mm^2 + 45 mm^2
= 57 mm^2
In the third figure, the area of the entire rectangle is calculated and the missing part is subtracted.
(9 mm * 9 mm) - (6 mm * 4 mm)
= 81 mm^2 + 24 mm^2
= 57 mm^2
