To find the area of the polygon, we need to split it into rectangles and then calculate the area of each rectangle.

First, we split the polygon into three rectangles:
Rectangle 1: 11 cm x 5 cm
Rectangle 2: 9 cm x 5 cm
Rectangle 3: 3 cm x 5 cm

Now, we calculate the area of each rectangle:
Rectangle 1: 11 cm x 5 cm = 55 square cm
Rectangle 2: 9 cm x 5 cm = 45 square cm
Rectangle 3: 3 cm x 5 cm = 15 square cm

Finally, we add the areas of the three rectangles to get the total area of the polygon:
Total area = 55 square cm + 45 square cm + 15 square cm
Total area = 115 square cm

Therefore, the area of the polygon is 115 square cm.
