We can divide the figure into two parts, the upper part, and lower part, shown divided by the blue line. We can find the area of both of these and add them together, which will be our final answer.
We multiply the length and width of the upper figure and get 8in*6in= 48in^2.
For the lower figure, we get 20in*10in=200in^2.
We add the two together and get our final answer: (D) 248in^2
