The plus sign is a composite of rectangles . The shape is comprised of:

1. 4 congruent rectangles with sides 20 in and 12 in

2. A square at the center with sides 20 in by 20in

The total area of Demi's Tester ca be found using the formula:


Total\text{ area = 4 }*\text{ l}*\text{ b +}l^2

Substituting the given side lengths:


\begin{gathered} Total\text{ area = 4 }*\text{ 20 }*\text{ 12 + 20}*\text{ 20} \\ =\text{ 1360 in}^2 \end{gathered}

Hence, the total area of Demi's poster is 1360 square in
