Answer:

A = 75 in²

Explanation:

We have the rectangle and the right triangle.

The formula of an area of a rectangle:

A = lw

l - length

w - width

We have l = 10 in and w = 5 in. Substitute:

A = (10)(5) = 50 in²

The formula of an area of a triangle:

A = 1/2 bh

b - base

h - height

We have b = 5 in and h = 5 in + 5 in = 10 in. Substitute:

A = 1/2(5)(10)=1/2(50)=25 in²

The area of figure:

A = 50 in² + 25 in² = 75 in²
