The area of the figure is 53 in²
We have that the composite shape is made up of a triangle and a rectangle.
Then, we have that the area of a rectangle is expressed as;
Area = length ×width
Substitute the values
Area = 6 × 8
Multiply the values
Area = 48 in²
The area of a triangle is expressed as;
Area = 1/2bh
Substitute the values
Area = 1/2 × 2 × 5
Multiply the values
Area = 5 in²
Total area = 48 + 5 = 53 in²
