To find the area of this L-shaped figure, we can break it into two simpler rectangles, calculate their areas, and then sum them up.

Let's analyze the shape:

1. **Upper horizontal rectangle**:
   - Length: 9 meters
   - Width: 2 meters
   \[
   \text{Area of upper rectangle} = 9 \, \text{m} \times 2 \, \text{m} = 18 \, \text{m}^2
   \]

2. **Vertical rectangle** (the remaining part):
   - Length: 11 meters
   - Width: 3 meters
   \[
   \text{Area of vertical rectangle} = 3 \, \text{m} \times 11 \, \text{m} = 33 \, \text{m}^2
   \]

Finally, sum the areas of the two rectangles:
\[
\text{Total area} = 18 \, \text{m}^2 + 33 \, \text{m}^2 = 51 \, \text{m}^2
\]

So, the area of the figure is **51 square
