Answer:

C

Explanation:

The answer must be in square inches, not inches, so a and b are automatically wrong.

Couple of ways of doing it - the large triangles are congruent, so the area of each is the same. Since the area of a triangle is 1/2 base times height, the area of the 2 large triangles is just base times height, which is 18 * 11 or 198

Same principle for the smaller triangles at the top, area is 8 times 11, or 88. Add them up, you get 286 sq inches.
