Answer:

44 square inches.

Explanation:

The area of the letter is formed by several figures.

Notice that all figures are parallelograms, where their area is defined as


A=bh

Where
b is the base length and
h is the height.

Horizontal parallelograms:


A_(1)=6(2)=12in^(2)


A_(2)=6(2)=12in^(2)

Vertical parallelogram:


A_(3)=2(10)=20in^(2)

So, the total area is


A_(total)=A_(1) +A_(2) +A_(3)=12+12+20=44in^(2)

Therefore, the answer is 44 square inches.
