This figure can be divided into two parts

1. A square of side 7 inches

2. A triangle of base 12 inches and height 7 inches

Lets calculate the individual areas and add them up

1. Area of the square = side × side

= 7×7 = 49 sq.inches

2. Area of the triangle =
(1)/(2) × base ×height


(1)/(2) × 12 × 7

= 42 sq. inches

Lets add up the areas of the square and the triangle

= 49+42 = 91 in²
