Answer: 168 inches squared
Explanation:
- We can set up the equation as the area of rectangle + 4 * area of triangle.
-- If you're wondering why we multiply it by four, it's because the triangles are all identical, so finding the area of one triangle will apply for all four.
- To find the area of the triangle, it's 6 times 10 times 1/2, which is 30 inches.
- To find the area of the rectangle, it's 16 times 3 which is 48 inches.
48 plus 120 inches is 168 inches squared.
