Answer 1

66 square inches

Explanation:

The area of the figure can be found by adding the area of the rectangle and the triangle together.

The area of a rectangle is found A = l*w. Here l = 10 and w = 6. So the area of the rectangle is 10*6 = 60.

The area of a triangle is found A = 1/2 b*h. Here b = 2 from 12-10 = 2 and h = 6. So the area of the triangle is 1/2 * 2* 6 = 6.

The area together is 60 + 6 = 66 square inches.
