Answer:

115.5 in²

Explanation:

Area of the shape is the area of two composite figure rectangle and triangle.

Area of rectangle = length × width

= (20-7)in × 7in

= 13 × 7

= 91 in²

Now

Area of the triangle = ½ base × height

= ½ × 7 × 7

= ½ × 49

= 24.5 in²

Therefore, the area of the shape = area of rectangle + area of triangle

= 91 in² + 24.5 in²

= 115.5 in²

So, the area of the shape is 115.5 in².
