Answer:

  • B. 84 in²

Explanation:

Split the area into two sections by extending 6 in segment.

We get a rectangle of 5 in x 10 in and a trapezoid.

Rectangle:

  • A = wl
  • A = 5*10 = 50 in²

Trapezoid:

  • A = 1/2(b₁ + b₂)h
  • A = 1/2((15 - 5) + 7)*(10 - 6) = 1/2*17*4 = 34 in²

Total area:

  • 50 + 34 = 84 in²
