456 in².

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the rectangle. To do so, multiply 22in by 18in to get 396in².

Next find the area of the triangle using the formula base × height × (½) = area. The height is 12in and the base is 10in, which can be found by doing 22 inches on the bottom minus the 6 inches on both sides. 12 × 10 is 120, divided by 2 is 60in².

Add 396in² and 60in² to get 456in².

Hope this helps!
