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 width measuring $17$17 $cm$cm and a length measurement of $4$4 $cm$cm. Rectangle $B$B has a given length measuring $6$6 $cm$cm, while the width 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.
