Answer 1

116in2

Explanation:

Top Rectangle Shape: 2in x 3in = 6in2

Middle Rectangle Shape: (9in+3in) x (9in-2in) = 84in2

Far Left Rectangle Shape: (9in-2in-5in) x (6in) = 12in2

Bottom Triangle Shape: [6in - (9in-5in-2in] x [(9in+3in-11in)+6in] x 1/2 = 14in2

Total: 6in2 + 84in2 + 12in2 + 14in2 = 116in2
