Answer:

810
in^(2)

Explanation:

The easiest way to find the area of this figure would be to separate them into shapes (triangle and square) and adding them together at the end.

Let's start with the triangle. The formula for the area of a triangle is:
(1)/(2)bh

First, we need to find the base, which would be 9 + 18 + 9 and would equal 36. Then we can plug the numbers into the formula: 1/2(36)(27), which gives us an area of 486.

Next, let's find the area of the square. The formula for the area of a square is:
bh.

So, we can just plug in the numbers: 18(18) and get the area of 324.

Finally, we can add these areas together: 486 + 324 and get the answer of 810 squared inches.

*Also b stands for base and h stands for height.
