Think about the shape shown below.

A composite shape is made up of two rectangles labeled $A$A and $B$B. Scale lines indicate the dimensions of the composite shape. Rectangle $A$A is vertically oriented with a height measuring $17$17 $cm$cm and a width measurement of $4$4 $cm$cm. Rectangle $B$B has a given width measuring $6$6 $cm$cm, while the height is not labeled. Rectangle $B$B is attached to the right side of the rectangle $A$A and positioned such that its bottom side is $3$3-$cm$cm from the bottom of rectangle $A$A and its top side is $6$6-$cm$cm from the top of rectangle $A$A.
